JAN 17^th – MARCH 17, 2025

3^rd Floor Gallery

Curated by Pamela Staker

Nature has long served as both inspiration and subject matter in abstract painting, offering artists a rich and symbolic language to explore emotion, form, and structure. The impressionist movement laid the groundwork for modern-day abstraction through its novel attempts to paint the essence of light and color in the natural environment. The 20^th century produced artists whose innovations in abstraction found them employing nature’s chaotic, energetic, and elemental qualities as metaphors for human emotion and the subconscious mind. This collective legacy continues to inspire the three painters in this exhibition as they use memory and philosophical observation to inform their exploration of nature and abstraction.
