Leila Heller Gallery, New York is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition Nature and Form: Sculptural Dialogues Across Time and Place opening on May 10th, 2025.  

 

Presenting a dialogue across time and space, Nature and Form explores materiality as a dynamic and ever evolving archive. Artists exhibited go beyond using material solely as a medium of expression and physically construct meaningful conversations in each sculpture.  

 

Together, the works on display invite viewers to contemplate how forms can harmonize and interact within their environments. The dichotomy between serenity and chaos created in pairing these artists and their works together invites reflection on how to closely navigate the illusions and visual complexities of sculpture. Through their exploration of form, material, and narrative, these artists create tangible objects that collectively speak to the shared human experience.
