This show invites viewers into a world where color, texture, line and movement become language. An exhibition of contemporary art exploring emotion, energy, and the unseen. What begins as paint and gesture becomes something more --- an echo of thought, a pulse of memory, a reflection of our shared inner worlds. Beyond Form is on view at KAA from May 21st through June 14th, 2026.
Opening Reception: Sunday, May 24th from 5-7pm
Also on View: Works by Spotlight Artist Myles Burr
