For the nearly 90-year-old artist Merrill Wagner, it's difficult to simply categorize her art into a particular school or style. Although she was active in the American Abstract and Minimalist art movements of the 1960s and 70s, and many of her works exhibit distinctly geometric and abstract visual forms, Wagner 's work is more about exploring the possibility of breakthrough and self-realization outside the mainstream . Recently, David Zwirner Gallery's Hong Kong space hosted her solo exhibition "Nature," her first solo exhibition in Greater China in 15 years. The exhibition encompasses a series of works representing Wagner's career from the 1970s to the first decade of the 21st century, allowing us to glimpse how her diverse artistic practices developed on the foundation of Abstract Expressionism, how she drew energy from natural landscapes and materials to create natural forms flowing across the surface of her works.
