We are pleased to announce that Lewis Wexler, juror of our 2022 Members Exhibition, has selected Aleksandar Popovic as the winner of the Member Highlight solo exhibition.

Aleksandar Popovic, Endangered Land IX, 2021, oil and wax on linen, 42” x 60”

Popovic's Endangered Land IX is a part of his larger Endangered Land series, one of his three most recent bodies of work dealing with the general recognition that some irrevocable events in the future may change the face of our planet, leading to different conditions in which we populate physical and geographical spaces.

"This work reflects, on a more general level, the necessity of a global collaborative project for human survival and coexistence. It opens important questions: What are our hopes as we emerge on the other side after a passage through a turbulent time? How do we rebuild a new environment and reconnect with each other? What will the new landscapes in this future world look like?” ~Aleksandar Popovic

Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar, Disintegration #8, 2022, sewing pattern, paper, thread, fabric, ink, graphite, gouache, 60" x 60"

“My Art during COVID began to shift inward. I began to work on found materials. I discovered old upholstery patterns my Mom had used during my youth when she started an upholstery business to help make ends meet. With a new observation on memory and how one experiences them joined with recycled materials that were personal, I began a new series.”
—Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar
