Nature Interrupted - drawings by Douglas Gilbert
On view: May 15 - July 10, 2026
Please note, the gallery will be closed from June 5 through June 21.
This series explores the experience of moving through a landscape that feels both familiar and uncertain, where a path emerges not as a fixed destination, but as a space of approach.

Across the works, the viewer is positioned at a threshold, advancing toward something that remains unresolved. Vertical forms line these paths, suggesting trees, structures, or clustered elements of the natural world, yet they resist stable definition. Shifting in scale and proximity, they alternately press forward and recede, creating a tension between openness and compression. These forms act as interruptions, echoing the experience of roads cutting through nature, where the landscape is divided yet continues to grow on either side.

Constructed through the accumulation of thousands of graphite lines, Gilbert’s drawings develop through variations in density rather than traditional modeling. Darker, more compact areas advance toward the viewer, while lighter, more dispersed marks recede, forming spatial fields shaped by memory and perception. Light and dark operate not as descriptive tools, but as experiential elements, reflecting how landscape is remembered rather than directly observed.

Rooted in observation yet transformed through abstraction, Gilbert’s drawings are less concerned with depicting a specific place than with holding a feeling. They reflect a meditative engagement with landscape, where form, memory, and perception converge, leaving the image open for each viewer’s experience.
