Abstractions: Anne Marchand, opened to the public Saturday, November 15, 2021 in the STEAM gallery of the SHU’s Discovery Science Center in Bridgeport, CT. The exhibition, which features bold, colorful, large-scale abstract paintings by renowned artist Anne Marchand, remains on display through May 15, 2022. An artist reception will be held Saturday, March 5 at 6:00pm

Inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope photographs, Anne Marchand’s work is an exploration of the surprisingly colorful and frequently fluid-like state of the universe. Her mixed media pieces combine texture, color, and negative space to convey the dichotomy between the chaos of entropy and cohesion of nature, capturing a sense of wonder, introspection, and imagination.
