RA launches our 3rd exhibition, Real Abstraction, presenting  new work by Mark Olshansky and Allison Reimus, an exhibition that engages and subverts stereotypes of gender, age, fine art and craft.  “Both are superb colorists, skilled at achieving painterly effects in non-paint materials. Olshansky works with 3-ply Persian wool, separating the factory-made yarns into separate strands and then re-twining them, as if he were mixing a palette. Reimus’s wide-ranging repertoire of materials means that she is combining colors from different universes, Winsor & Newton oils alongside findings from Michael’s craft superstore.” – Glenn Adamson, excerpt from essay, Real Abstraction, for the exhibition.
