The Bonnier Gallery is delighted to present Green Creek, on view November 26, 2022 - February 4, 2023 with an opening reception Saturday, November 26 at 7 PM. This latest solo exhibition of oil paintings, sculpture, and works on paper by American artist Kathleen Jacobs examines how the artist's observation of her natural environment has manifested in her practice throughout the years. Green Creek takes its inspiration from a Tang Dynasty poem by 8th century poet Wang Wei.
In her signature paintings, Jacobs uses trees for frottage. The linens spend upwards of three years wrapped on tree trunks as she applies pressure and paint. The resulting canvases are altogether dreamlike, grounded by the rubbings of the natural landscape while simultaneously evoking the sky and the sea. The exhibition includes Jacobs' ceramic and bail sculptures, as well as a selection of drawings and prints.
