Back for its seventh year, the popular Expressions in the Abstract exhibit at the Borrego Art Institute opens Nov. 4 in the main gallery. This exciting show features abstract art in a variety of mediums including art created from discarded and found artifacts. Located in Borrego Springs, this exhibit will include the work of new and returning regional artists. In the north gallery, The Golden Land: The Abstract Art of Kristen Guest explores Southern California scenery through composition, textures, shapes, subtlety of colors and rhythms of light and dark. Guest, an award-winning artist and art instructor in San Diego, translates beauty and atmospheric feeling into work that results in dramatic shapes, gestural lines and visual tension. The opening reception is Nov. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. The shows run Nov. 4-26. For more information, go to www.borregoartinstitue.org.
