That makes a pair of current shows featuring sculpture and installations something special. First up is Catalyst , an enchanting outdoor exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens that is chock-full of impressive sculptures.

Staying power: If anyone actually needs a reminder, there is a reason abstract work continues to captivate artists who find that style more real than what traditionally is considered realism. Creative freedom and the opportunity for an artist to interpret how he or she views the world are at the heart of this form of work, as is clear in the current show at T: A Gallery.
