Crown Point Press presents Spring Evolutions, a group exhibition showcasing artists whose work combines abstraction and geometry with images of the natural world. The results are a union of distinct features that evolve into wholly unique compositions. The blend of organic subject matter and inorganic forms produces vibrant images that emerge like new growth sprouting during the spring season. These etchings evoke the spirit of perseverance, hope and renewal that a new season promises.
