Roberta Gentry’s The Walled Garden explores the balance of order and chaos found in nature, architecture, and biology. Inspired by Marian art, particularly the Madonna on a Crescent Moon, Gentry examines the boundaries architecture places on the natural world. Her work blends structural and botanical elements, with a focus on symmetry and the relationship between the body and the environment. Gentry uses a grid to guide her process, layering translucent acrylics to create a sense of time and depth in her paintings.
