Etel Adnan: Light’s New Measure
October 8, 2021 - January 10, 2022

As both an incisive writer and an anecdotal artist, the late Adnan navigated between both her worlds with a critical eye and decisive mindset—two facets that translate into her lineup of paintings, tapestries, and drawings that snapshot familiar memories and ephemeral perceptions shared across humanity. The simple geometries in Adnan’s work take inspiration from the views of Mount Tamalpais from time spent in her California home and walk the line of figuration and abstraction through recurring motifs that form modest naturescapes and evoke a deep appreciation for nature and the human spirit.
