BAMart at ROOM: WHAT NATURE LEAVES BEHIND
June 14–October 12, 2024

ROOM, 36 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT

Hours at ROOM: Monday - Saturday, 11AM - 5PM

Contemporary art grounded in the natural world pairs perfectly with ROOM’s curated furniture and lighting from world’s renowned designers, such as Lindsey Adelman, Christopher Boots, and Larose Guyon and their own bespoke collections, also rooted in organic forms and the ever changing light of nature.

Inspired by a quote from iconic painter, Joan Mitchell, “to paint what [nature] leaves me with,” the museum-quality artists in this show similarly transform what they see and feel in the natural world into beautiful abstract art, by utilizing a wide variety of materials, from paper pulp to paint to photography.

FEATURED ARTISTS
Ky Anderson, Frances Ashforth, Mariana Garibay Raeke, Sarah Hinckley, Mirena Kim,
Mary Little, Peter Margonelli, Dora Somosi, and Julia von Eichel.
