WHAT
Known for a unique approach to abstraction, the American artist’s (b. 1935) work blurs the boundaries between painting, relief, sculpture, and installation. In this exhibition, Wagner showcases compositions from her expansive career, bringing together a collection of works that explore her ongoing fascination with process, chance, and the transformative effects of time. It presents an opportunity to experience the diverse range of unconventional materials and techniques utilised by the artist.

WHY
The artist’s rigorous, hard-edged abstract compositions subtly reference landscapes, while found and non-traditional materials such as slate, plexiglass, and steel add a textural and naturalistic dimension to the inventive pieces. Her art eloquently combines the arbitrary and the ordered, resulting in geometric formations and vibrant, all-over compositions. This exhibition not only showcases the artist’s creative evolution but also invites viewers to admire the seamless transitions between abstract and figurative modes of expression.
