ABOUT THE EXHIBITThe Painting Center is pleased to present the exhibition Let Nature In, curated by Kathleen Beausoleil and Shazzi Thomas in the Main Gallery and Project Room. Let Nature In features contemporary artists who continue to engage with the natural world by offering fresh perspectives on our ever-evolving relationship with the environment. From the earliest cave paintings of trees and plants to the intricate floral motifs of 10th-century Eastern art, nature has been a constant source of creativity - an open invitation to reflect and create. This exhibition joins a timeless conversation—reinterpreting, challenging, and deepening our connection to the natural world through works that don’t just depict nature but breathe with it, literally and sometimes metaphorically, letting the outside seep into our consciousness.
