"Galerie Nordenhake Mexico City is pleased to present Zigzags and Curves, an exhibition by Sarah Crowner that brings together her sustained research into geometry, abstraction, and the expanded language of painting. Presented across two sites - the gallery's Mexico City space and Casa Roja in Lomas de Chapultepec-the exhibition takes its title from the fundamental graphic elements that structure Crowner's visual vocabulary: the zigzag and the curve."
"Throughout her career, Crowner's practice has been informed by the histories of modern art, including traditions of geometric abstraction that developed in Latin America during the twentieth century. She paints directly onto canvas that is then cut apart and sewn back together, allowing the act of making to remain embedded in the surface and structure of the work. At the intersection of fine art, and design, and architecture, her work challenges hierarchies that position painting as an autonomous medium,"
"The presentation at Galerie Nordenhake Mexico City brings together a selection of works developed by Sarah Crowner in close dialogue with Galerie Nordenhake Mexico City partner Toni Sadurni, reflecting years of shared travel and research across Mexico and Latin America. Hard-edge geometries and linear structures recur throughout the installation, where zigzags and angular rhythms operate as both formal devices and compositional strategies."
Zigzags and Curves presents Sarah Crowner's exploration of geometry, abstraction, and an expanded language of painting. She paints directly onto canvas, cuts the canvases apart, and sews them back together so the act of making remains embedded in surface and structure. The work intersects fine art, design, and architecture, extending painting into architecture, scenography, and spatial experience. The exhibition occupies two sites: Galerie Nordenhake Mexico City and Casa Roja in Lomas de Chapultepec. Hard-edge geometries, linear structures, zigzags, and angular rhythms recur as formal devices and compositional strategies. The presentation reflects long-term engagement with Mexico's cultural heritage and collaboration with Toni Sadurni, informed by shared travel and research across Mexico and Latin America.
