Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce a special exhibition of recent paintings by Jill Nathanson from May 24 through June 30, 2018. This is Berry Campbell’s second solo exhibition of Jill Nathanson’s colorful abstract works. The exhibition will include 19 works, featuring several large-scale paintings. The opening reception for Jill Nathanson: Cadence is Thursday, May 24 from 6 to 8pm.
In her reduction of painting to its physical essence, Jill Nathanson belongs to the Color Field legacy, but her immersive and sensual paintings stand in a category of their own. Consisting of unusual hues of overlapping layers of variable translucency, they create emotionally nuanced experiences with yet enough tension to engage our contemplation. Empirical Empyrean, the title of one of her paintings in the current exhibition (her second at Berry Campbell), suggests the fine line on which her work rests.
