San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, formerly the SLO Art Center, hosts a special lecture on contemporary abstract painting on Sunday afternoon.

The presenter, Daniel Dove, an assistant professor and area coordinator of studio art at Cal Poly University, is a fine artist in his own right. Dove graduated with an MFA in painting from Yale University and his work appears in public collections in Malibu, Ohio, and Germany.

His lecture titled "Contemporary Abstract Painting" will include a slide presentation on the various current approaches towards abstract painting, as well as, a brief discussion of the historical movements in art that have informed contemporary works.

The lecture is inspired by the Museum’s current exhibit Perfect Stranger: Robert Chapman on view until May 31, 2010. The lecture begins at 3 pm. Coffee, tea and cookies will be served. Tickets available at the door. $5.00 for members, $7.00 for non-members.
