SKY POWER: BECKONING COLOR

May 5 – June 25

Sky Power is a contemporary painter living and working in Provincetown. Her abstractions and dreamscapes are driven by emotion, strong composition and color-as-form, created through the language of abstraction. Influenced by three Hans Hofmann students — Paul Resika, Selina Trieff and Robert Henry — Power’s exhibition, curated by PAAM’s Chief Executive Officer, Christine McCarthy, seeks to show the artist’s mystical connection between representational and abstract art through composition. She is represented by Berta Walker Gallery, Provincetown, with a 2023 show there.
