Dona Nelson's Sculptural Paintings Lead Group Show at Thomas Erben Gallery

exhibition · 2026-04-22

A compact exhibition at Thomas Erben Gallery, on view until February 1, features five pieces by four artists, emphasizing quality over quantity. Dona Nelson, recognized as a painter's painter, challenges the flatness of her medium by transforming paintings into three-dimensional installations. Her work establishes spatial dynamics that influence the other participants: Hadassah Emmerich, Chitra Ganesh, and Haeri Yoo. Despite their varied cultural backgrounds and visual approaches, the show reveals a striking symmetry among the artworks. This presentation was highlighted as an artcritical PIC in December 2008.
