The presentation will take place in a dedicated exhibition space housed in a converted industrial building from the 1920s, and will feature works on paper, painting, sculpture, and assemblage by Cynthia Hawkins, Sol LeWitt, Eric N. Mack, and Alan Shields. Coming from three distinct generations, the artists are united by their use of vibrant color, diverse materials, and abstract forms.  The pop-up follows the gallery’s three-year residency on Worth Avenue, where sixteen exhibitions were presented between December 2020 and April 2023.

Rory McEwen</a>: A New Perspective on Nature presents the vibrant career of renowned Scottish artist Rory McEwen (1932–1982), a seminal figure in the development of contemporary botanical art. McEwen had a distinctive style; he emphasized light and color in his paintings of natural objects, portraying individual flowers, leaves, and vegetables against empty backgrounds on which they appear to float. Executed in his preferred medium of watercolor on vellum, these ‘plant portraits’ record in minute detail the imperfect and unique features of his subjects.</p><p>McEwen grew up in Scotland at Marchmont House, a magnificent Palladian country estate, where his French governess taught him to draw flowers at an early age. He initially pursued a career in music, but his true gift was in painting, and from 1964 until his death in 1982, McEwen worked solely as a visual artist. In addition to his botanical watercolors on vellum, the exhibition includes a selection of his sketch books, etchings, and sculptures. These are displayed alongside early illuminated manuscripts, folio volumes, and works by 17th, 18th, and 19th century masters who influenced him — Robert, Redouté, Ehret, and Aubriet — drawn from the Rachel Lambert Mellon Collection at Oak Spring Garden Foundation, and from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. These, along with contemporary botanical works on loan from the Shirley Sherwood collection, provide an unparalleled context to explore the rich inspiration of McEwen’s artistic vision and his continued legacy.</p><p><br></p>" />
