Join Wexler Gallery for a closer look at their current exhibition, ELEMENTAL: Nature Reinterpreted, and their full collections, May 17-18 in Suite 413 from 1:00-5:00pm. The exhibition explores the give-and-take dynamic of how natural forms and materials influence artists and are in turn impacted by the artist’s vision and hand. In literal or conceptual representations of flora and fauna, and the transformation of earthly materials such as clay, pigment, wood, glass and metal, the artists react to, and interact with, nature in myriad ways through their work. Contact info@wexlergallery.com to schedule your visit. Appointment times and occupancy will be staggered per the New York Design Center’s COVID-19 safety protocols.
