Maybaum Gallery would like to present a carefully curated selection of paintings by Karl Klingbiel and sculptures by Nadia Yaron.

Karl Klingbiel's paintings are deeply rooted in process, reflecting a fluid interplay between intention and the final result. His art inhabits the space where deliberate actions intersect with the painting’s organic evolution, producing works that feel alive, constantly shifting in a delicate balance of form and abstraction. Built through layered marks and revisions, his pieces possess a self-generating quality, as though they are unfolding on their own. Rather than aiming for a fixed image, Klingbiel explores the tension between intent and unpredictability. His optically driven works reveal how order and chaos coexist, creating a visual realm that is both enigmatic and evocative, drawing viewers into a dreamlike world of swirling color, movement, and time.

In contrast, Nadia Yaron's sculptures are grounded in the natural world, drawing from the permanence of materials like wood, stone, and metal. Her work embodies a delicate meditation on nature's fleeting moments—the transient beauty of a cloud or a fallen leaf—captured in heavy, enduring materials. Yaron's pieces, with their calm monochromatic palettes and bold forms, reduce nature to its most elemental shapes while retaining an evocative energy. Her sculptures often suggest precarious balance, inviting contemplation on the tension between impermanence and solidity. Yaron, who began her artistic career after years in furniture-making, approaches her sculptural practice with a reverence for nature, surrendering to the material and allowing the forms to emerge organically.

Together, Klingbiel and Yaron offer a compelling exploration of the natural and abstract, form and flux, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the subtle interplay of intent, process, and material.
