Into the Woods
Into the Woods
April 24-May 30, 2026
Jessica Silverman is pleased to present “Into the Woods,” a group exhibition on view from April 24–May 30, 2026. Bringing together fifteen artists across painting, sculpture, and textiles, the exhibition approaches the arboreal not only as subject but as structure — a living framework for thinking about time, survival, memory, and growth.
Featured artists include: Srijon Chowdhury, Bambou Gili, Laeh Glenn, Sonia Gomes, Thalita Hamaoui, Hugh Hayden, Yuichi Hirako, Alex Katz, Sean Landers, Rebecca Manson, Lam Tung Pang, Hayal Pozanti, Ana Silva, Rupy C. Tut and Robert Zehnder
Throughout the exhibition, trees function as emotional and psychological terrain. Wood is sometimes a sculptural collaborator, where botanical forms unfurl into intricate ornamentation. The participating artists draw on the material life of trees as much as their imagery. Often incorporating reclaimed wood, bark, and other organic materials, trees are articulated as structures of rootedness, respiration, and growth.
Trees have long served as vessels of cultural memory: witnesses to history, emblems of renewal, and symbols of rootedness across civilizations. The artists gathered here extend that lineage while pressing beyond it. In their hands, the tree is not only an ancient archetype but a living engine of the imagination — one in which every ring, mark, and gesture participates in a larger system of making and meaning.
