Between gesture, line, and shape, Painting universes traces the inner and outer dimensions of abstract painting. The exhibition brings together intuitive mark-making, improvisational gestures, and methodical brushstrokes, unfolding a rich visual language that moves fluidly between control and spontaneity. Irregular geometries and improbable materialities expand the possibilities of abstraction, inviting viewers into a space where process and perception intersect.

From the calm to the climactic and the wildly expressive, the works in Painting universes reveal the emotional and conceptual range of abstract practice. Each painting contributes to a broader conversation, weaving together diverse approaches that reflect both historical continuity and individual experimentation. The exhibition unfolds as a whimsical walkthrough, offering a dynamic and layered experience of abstraction’s many forms.

The exhibition features works by Jennifer Bartlett, Lynda Benglis, Mary Corse, Louise Fishman, Dona Nelson, Joanna Pousette-Dart, Warren Rohrer, David Row, and Pat Steir. Together, these artists represent multiple generations and perspectives, forming a constellation of practices that underscore the enduring vitality and expansiveness of abstract painting.
