Ben Brown Fine Arts is pleased to present Nature, Abstracted, an exhibition curated by New York-based curator and advisor Sean Zhang. The exhibition brings together twelve artists whose practices share a sustained engagement with the logic of the natural world.
The exhibition takes as its premise a statement Gerhard Richter has returned to across decades of practice: that nature possesses an inherent logic, a structural intelligence in the behaviour of water, the branching of trees, the stratification of earth, and that abstraction, at its most ambitious, aspires to embody that same intelligence.
What unites these twelve artists, across generation, geography, and medium, is a shared conviction that the most rigorous abstraction is never a departure from the world but a deepening of attentiveness to it. The works in this exhibition are unsparing.
