Wintergreen gathers twelve artists from Los Angeles and beyond who are thinking about nature as material, subject, and fragile system. The works move between beauty and sinister unease, humor and rapture. 

Inspired by Voltaire's adage “Il faut cultiver notre jardin / we must cultivate our garden,” the show considers the natural world as shared material bond. Laurie Nye paints a moonlit Fauvist reverie that jumbles flora and fauna. Theodora Allen plunges into a chilly arctic formalism. Nate Lewis sculpts repetitive structures–cells, smoke, tree rings?—that billow behind a suite of mysteriously crouching figures. From this tense, embodied motion we move to the stillness of Rebecca Partridge’s reverent studies of trees in high sun and wildflowers at night.

Made from materials like clay, crystal, recycled paper, and plant-based emulsion, the paintings and sculpture in Wintergreen evoke growth and erosion, change and perpetuity, the patterned divine, a wider environmental consciousness. They ask where we come from, where we are we going, what we might make of it, and for how long.
