Elizabeth Hohimer: On the Threshold of Dusk
Opening receptions: March 25 + 26, 12-5 pm ET
Gerald Peters Contemporary, New York
“My work, rooted in memory and emotion, seeks to achieve a spiritual resonance that echoes the sounds and stillness of the high deserts of West Texas. These works are artifacts of feelings.”
—Elizabeth Hohimer
Gerald Peters Contemporary presents On the Threshold of Dusk, featuring new and recent works by Elizabeth Hohimer on view at the gallery’s New York location.
Elizabeth Hohimer’s site-specific, land-based practice is an immersive study of desert atmospheres in the western United States. From her childhood in Texas to her recent travels throughout the West, Hohimer has felt a closeness to the land and a deep appreciation for the space and light of the region.
The artist explores the expressive potential of nuanced color tonalities to negotiate the confines of the compositional structure with the use of pinks, beiges, and creams. Hohimer’s signature atmospheric compositions employ this reduced palette reminiscent of the desert landscapes that inspired the work, and scale, open structure, and color to convey the impression of luminosity in her textiles.
Her recent stylistic explorations have led to a proliferation of new works with layered transparencies of vibrant pigments and earth tones culminating in luminous and ethereal compositions. As in her previous series, Hohimer’s new work maintains her commitment to abstractness as a means of articulating the essence and physicality of the desert landscape.
The exhibition is on view in New York from March 25 through April 22, 2022.
