Interlude of Joy showcases new paintings by Helen Marden, featuring her most expansive work to date. The presentation includes, for the first time, large-scale triptych formats alongside delicate watercolors, all rendered with Marden's characteristic blend of acrylic, resin, and powdered pigments. Working on canvases laid flat in her studio, Marden creates layered, gestural abstractions that capture an expressive, vibrant energy inspired by the natural world. The title of the exhibition is drawn from a poem by the Nobel laureate George Seferis, reflecting themes of elation and the poetic connection to nature. Through her complex layering of translucent pours and intricate, swirling lines, Marden explores the interplay of color and material, creating depth that invites contemplation. This exhibition serves as a significant mark of the artist's ongoing exploration into the power of abstraction and intuitive process.
The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday, 10 am to 6 pm. Admission is free, and visitors are encouraged to check the Gagosian website for the latest visitor notices before arrival.
