C24 Gallery is pleased to announce New Lands, a group exhibition bringing together three artists: Eric Clinton Anderson, Sarah Leahy, and Sona Lee—whose works traverse the uncertain space where abstraction meets landscape, and sensation overrides geography. These layered, tactile works evoke imagined topographies and emotional maps that drift between the distant and the familiar, the physical and the psychological. Viewers will navigate these elusive spaces, shaped not by maps, but by memory, material, and the unconscious.
Eric Clinton Anderson resists traditional interpretation, favoring embodied experience over verbal explanation. His works invite presence over parsing, offering viewers an encounter with abstraction as a pure perceptual field—where meaning is felt rather than articulated.
Sarah Leahy constructs wall-mounted reliefs from layered plexiglass panels meticulously painted with black India ink. Through a slow process of sanding and washing, her "Constructions" capture fleeting light conditions and textures from natural and built environments. Though appearing abstract, they resonate with the unmistakable realness of atmospheric memory and spatial perception.
Sona Lee navigates the nonlinear logic of dreams and liminal states. Drawing from her daily dream journal and lifelong fascination with hypnagogic space, Lee’s work visualizes the fragile boundary between reality and unreality. Her landscapes are not of what was, but of what could have been—fragmented, emotionally charged spaces that blur time, memory, and identity.
Together, these artists conjure new sceneries that shift across planes and perspectives. New Lands proposes a space of encounter where orientation is elusive —a visual and emotional cartography for a world in flux.
