Artist Lisa Sanditz Explores Human Impact on Landscape in New York Exhibit

Artist Lisa Sanditz is showcasing her latest exhibition, 'Missing Mountain,' at Alexandre Gallery in New York. This marks her first solo show in the city in over a decade. The exhibition features Sanditz's exploration of the relationship between human activity and the natural landscape, with a particular focus on the effects of climate change and industrialization.

Sanditz's work is deeply rooted in the concept of place, drawing from her experiences and observations of both China and the Hudson Valley in New York. Her paintings and drawings often depict the transformation of landscapes due to industrial activities and the shift from manufacturing hubs to post-industrial areas.

Her approach to landscape art is postmodern, blending different pictorial languages to create a unique visual narrative. This sets her apart from modernist artists like Marsden Hartley and Alex Katz. Sanditz's work acknowledges the destructive impacts of human intervention and climate change but avoids preaching, instead celebrating the beauty of the landscape and the versatility of acrylic paint.

In her current exhibition, Sanditz combines observation, memory, and imagination to create her art. The exhibition includes works like 'Missing Mountain (Stewart's Sherbet Sun)' (2026), which exemplifies her ability to capture the essence of a landscape while highlighting the human impact on it.

The exhibition is open to the public and runs until the end of the month.
