Brice Marden

Three Works: Nevisian Story 17/Garden 1; 18/Garden 2; 19/Garden 3

2004

Three flowing, gestural compositions executed in Kremer ink on paper, this trio of works from Marden's *Nevisian Story* series reflects the artist's ongoing dialogue between Eastern calligraphic tradition and Western abstraction. Sinuous, looping lines wander across each sheet with an organic, almost botanical energy, evoking the lush landscape of the Caribbean island of Nevis where Marden has long maintained a studio. The sequential titling as *Garden 1*, *Garden 2*, and *Garden 3* suggests a meditative, serial exploration of natural forms, with the fluid ink lines conjuring a sense of growth, entanglement, and contemplative wandering.
