A Forest: Group Exhibition

-
Hexton Gallery is pleased to announce A Forest, a group exhibition curated by Jack Chase and Dylan Siegel, opening February 14, 2025. The exhibition brings together works by established and emerging painters in a wide variety of scales and styles, each presenting images of trees. Much the same way a grove of our native Aspen trees share a single root system, the artists exhibited share an interconnected visual network across generations, even when not directly influenced by one another.
Trees have a central place in the history of representational painting, featuring prominently from some of the earliest known cave paintings to Van Gogh’s Cypresses. A Forest takes a broad look at the role of the tree in contemporary painting, while climate change exacts an increasing toll on natural landscapes. The painters included in the exhibition turn to the tree as an omnipresent symbol of both change and continuity.
A Forest features historic works by Christo and Alex Katz, alongside recent and never-before-seen works by the likes of Richard Carter, John Dilg, Maureen Dougherty, Nancy Friedland, Nate Jahiel, Asher Liftin, Haley Mellin, Andy Millner, Gala Prudent, Ariel Steinbach, Ena Swansea, Maxwell Sykes, and Atticus Wakefield. The exhibition will run until April 30th -
