Artists in conversation

Pat Steir
American · b. 1940

Steir works in large scale oil on canvas with gestural, fluid mark making that prioritizes the physical motion of paint across the surface, sharing Nares's deep interest in the trace of bodily movement and temporal presence within a single stroke.

Lynda Benglis
American · b. 1941

Benglis explores the materiality and flow of substance as both subject and form, and like Nares she foregrounds the sensory immediacy of the medium itself, treating the act of application as a record of time unfolding in a singular present moment.

Joan Mitchell
American · b. 1925

Mitchell's oil on canvas paintings emphasize the energetic, sweeping gesture as a direct expression of felt experience and immediacy, closely paralleling Nares's focus on the single continuous brushstroke as a meditation on the present instant.
