Join us for the opening reception on Friday, February 3rd from 5 to 9 p.m. The proceeds from all art sales benefit the artist and the exhibition programs of 1708 Gallery. Constructs XI will be on view through April 22, 2012.

Constructs is an ongoing ever changing exhibition that features artists from Virginia. Working in abstraction, the artists create singular works of art through the combination of many elements. While some echo traditional easel painting, others are multi-part assemblages that extend painting’s reach into the realm of installation. With comparable sensibilities toward color, shape, and gesture, these artists explore painting through the inventive use of collage, innovative construction techniques, or conceptually layered frameworks.
