The exhibition Form in Focus features three NYC-based artists, Diana Delgado, Amelia Midori Miller, and Mitch Paster, united by a shared interest in color and pattern. Their abstract approach to the works asks viewers to draw into focus their own form of meaning."

Diana Delgado (b. 1983 in New York, NY) is a process-oriented painter who creates highly textured and layered works from oil paint, acrylic, beeswax and other materials. Her compositions are realized through a slow process of creating and covering. Delgado’s works focus on technique and color rather than form as representation, although with works such as My Little Pony, chance forms that emerge are acknowledged and embraced.

Amelia Midori Miller (b. 1985 in Tokyo, Japan) uses abstraction as a means of speaking to a universal audience, without specific cultural references and representations. The artists focuses "on formal issues such as light and space through composition and form," and "invite[s] the opportunity for people to bring their own personal experiences into the paintings.”

Mitch Paster (b. 1987 in West Palm, FL) creates abstract photographs that investigate the creative possibilities behind ordinary materials. Akin to Rothko and Reinhardt, Paster’s photographs examine the interaction of color-fields, but from a digital screen. The exact nature of the measured and calculated colors are balanced by the blurred lens. He captures the ethereal in the everyday.
