Into the Abstract: Paul Gruhler and Neha Vedpathak
Into the Abstract brings together the works of Paul Gruhler and Neha Vedpathak, two artists separated by generations but united in their dedication to abstraction. For over six decades, Gruhler has sought order and clarity through geometric compositions, a practice that gained new significance following his late-life diagnosis of severe dyslexia. Vedpathak found confidence in abstraction early in her career, embracing it as a space for exploration and self-expression.
At the heart of both artists’ processes is a commitment to slowness and intentionality. Into the Abstract considers how Gruhler’s methodical layering of color and Vedpathak’s time-intensive plucking technique challenge contemporary culture’s fixation on speed and output.
Their works also share formal affinities with minimalism—structured lines, color fields, and an interplay of negative space—while drawing from distinct influences. These visual connections are expanded through the addition of national loans from the Art Bridges Foundation by artists Sam Gilliam, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Alice Trumbull Mason.
