Pintura Fresca is an international group of abstract painters who met through the internet and are now working together on various art projects. The principal objective of the association is to be a platform and a forum for contemporary artists and in particular, abstract painting. Membership is by invitation only. (However Pintura Fresca is currently recruiting new members from Africa, South America, Asia and Australia. Please send us a message if you are an abstract painter from one of these areas and would like to be considered for membership !)
The essential drive of Pintura Fresca is to encourage dialog and demonstrate that articulate abstract expression still thrives and remains vibrant into the new millennium. We propose that in contrast to being dead, as some critics and curators will lead the public to believe, abstract art has matured and grown in nuance and refinement of thought over the last century.
The Pintura Fresca artists are currently preparing a series of group exhibitions to celebrate 100 years of abstraction. The working name for these exhibitions is PULSE.
