Cynthia Daignault's 'Denali' Exhibition Explores American Landscape Through Multiple Perspectives

Artist Cynthia Daignault is presenting her solo exhibition 'Denali' at Olney Gleason gallery in New York through March 28, 2026. The show features twelve distinct landscape paintings depicting North America's highest peak, also known as Mount McKinley, examining themes of perception, image culture, and environmental concerns. Daignault, known for her serial painting projects, creates works that combine conceptual rigor with painterly techniques, using oil on linen to explore how nature is represented and commodified. The exhibition includes pieces like 'Wonder Lake,' '1:72,' and a 288-panel installation that forms a cohesive mountain image when viewed from a distance. Born in Baltimore in 1978 and educated at Stanford University, Daignault has developed a practice that addresses memory, time, and the American wilderness through multi-panel installations.
