Mel Kendrick's 'Tilt' Exhibition Opens at David Nolan Gallery

David Nolan Gallery presents 'Tilt', an exhibition of new and recent work by American sculptor Mel Kendrick (b. 1949), running from April 23 to June 6, 2026. This is the artist's ninth solo show with the gallery. The exhibition features free-standing and wall-based painted wood sculptures, along with cast paper drawings. Kendrick, whose career spans over five decades, is known for his innovative use of wood and a process that treats sculpture as a form of drawing. He uses carpentry and construction tools as extensions of his hands and does not make preparatory sketches. The works in 'Tilt' are described as both familiar and startlingly novel, demonstrating Kendrick's singular capacity for innovation within his own visual language.
