Landscape at its Essence

“Abstract Tuscan Landscape #5” (oil on wood panel), by Greg Gorman, in his show “Abstracting the Landscape: In Search of the Essence,’’ at AVA Gallery and Art Center, Lebanon, N.H., through April 25.

The gallery says:

“The concept of this exhibition is to explore the process of abstracting landscape, using the Tuscan countryside as a point of departure. The works presented trace progression from relatively representational interpretations of the landscape through successive stages of deconstruction and abstraction, gradually reducing each scene to its essential elements and offering a new way of seeing the familiar.’’
