The technical prowess and beauty in a representational work such as, say, the Sistine Chapel is apparent to millions. Even non-artists can recognize the artist’s skill (or lack thereof) in a painting of a landscape, a human or an animal. But can abstract art reach the untutored heart in the same way? The cynical eye may see only blobs, lines and swirls of color, but a sympathetic viewer can perhaps have an even deeper experience with an abstract painting than a figurative painting. Abstract art is emotion distilled to pure motion and color, without the “baggage” of imagery. Explore the works of three abstract artists–Krista Harris, Raymond Saa and Winston Lee Mascarenhas–at Craighead Green Gallery, 1011 Dragon St., at the opening reception 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday. The exhibit runs through February 12. Call 214-855-0779 or visit craigheadgreen.com.
