Dona Nelson: Stand Alone Paintings

Exhibition Website

May 12 2018 - Aug 12 2018

Dona Nelson: Stand Alone Paintings presents over thirty works from the last four decades to demonstrate the breadth and continuity of Nelson’s influential painting career. This exhibition brings together for the first time important, rarely shown figurative paintings with the more recent abstract paintings for which Nelson is best known. Nelson’s works play with materials and varying degrees of abstraction, and her bold, free-standing canvases, painted front to back, challenge accepted ideas of what painting is, and what the boundaries between painting and sculpture are. Oscillating between representation and abstraction, Nelson transforms her created environments into personal and profound viewing experiences.
