Rupert Deese’s Rivers and Mountains at Nancy Hoffman Gallery draws from his travels in California’s Sierra Nevada, translating river and mountain formations into abstract compositions. Using triangular plywood tiles, Deese constructs scaled models of river topography, emphasizing form, light, and color. His new watercolors capture shifting light on water, while blue-and-white faceted works explore natural palettes. The exhibition invites viewers to experience nature’s grace in sculptural form.
