Antoinette Prien Schultze and Brigtitte Keller are longtime friends whose artwork forms a rich conversation on abstraction, process, material, natural form, and modern design. Schultze’s monumental sculptures speak to the resilience of the threatened natural world, while the deceptively complex, layered surfaces of Keller’s immersive paintings evoke both the enduring and transient aspects of nature. Both artists’ abstractions are inflected by their deep connections to classical music, especially Bach. Location: UMF Art Gallery. FREE. Open to the Public.
