Spring Exhibition and Sports Night at Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts
Get ready for Spring at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts! The Spring Exhibition opens on Saturday, January 31, along with the return of Sports Night that same evening. In addition, registration is now open for the Spring session of classes at the School of Art.
Spring Exhibition: Opening January 31
This spring, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts will feature work by two artists from across the globe: Olga Tobreluts and Ivan Plusch.
“Where Meanings Collide: A Conversation on Abstraction” opens to the public on Saturday, January 31, pairing Tobreluts and Plusch in a vivid exchange between painting and digital media. Hovering between figuration and pure form, their works probe the border between reality and virtual experience, recognition and non-recognition. Visitors are invited to complete the conversation, finding their own meanings in images that appear, dissolve, and re-emerge before the eye.
Drawing on a century of abstract art while speaking directly to today’s media-saturated lives, the artists trade forms, colors, and motifs across canvases and screens. Through vibrant color, layered forms, and motion-based visual cues, the exhibition offers an engaging look at how contemporary viewers interpret—and reinterpret—what they see.
“Where Meanings Collide” is presented with the support of Deborah Colton Gallery, representing Tobreluts and Plusch, and the exhibition continues through May 16, 2026. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and admission is free. For more information, visit pearlmfa.org.
