Liam Stevens & Nadia Yaron: A Dual PresentationSep 10 – 20, 2025
Liam Stevens & Nadia Yaron: A Dual Presentation brings together two artists who explore temporal rhythms of perception and growth through distinct, complementary practices.
Stevens' abstract paintings emerge from a process of attunement — following internal and external rhythms through layers, pauses and iterations that transform the pictorial plane into what he calls "a temporal field." Working with raw materials like jute and linen, he creates quiet, architectural works that invite viewers into shared moments of awareness. Yaron's floral sculptures capture ephemeral moments of growth, translating the upward surge of life into permanent forms, carved from materials like greenwood, which still pulse with its origin tree's life force. Both artists grapple with paradoxes — Stevens with rhythm within stillness, Yaron with fragility through permanence — creating pieces that exist in openness, responsive to the viewer's encounter and embodying nature's fluid systems of repetition and variation.
On view at Casa Francis, September 10 — 20, 2025.

Featured Artists
- Liam Stevens
London-based artist Liam Stevens works in layered pigment washes with pencil on canvas, and constructed reliefs. His creations are composed of repeated lines and forms, creating a sense of rhythm in the negative space.
- Nadia Yaron
Sculptor Nadia Yaron carves weighty, organic forms from wood, stone and metal in her home studio in Hudson, New York. Her pieces are hewn with chainsaws and grinders, a necessarily violent practice that contrasts with the tranquil sculptures.

LA GalleryNadia Yaron: For the flowers and the clouds and the wind and the treesJan 20 – Mar 25, 2023
In her show For the flowers and the clouds and the wind and the trees, sculptor Nadia Yaron draws on her deep connection with nature, presenting 32 sculptures in wood, stone and metal. Following a move to Hudson, NY, Yaron repurposed a 19th century barn as her studio, and developed a strong relationship with the setting. “As I was making these pieces, I realized I was in the middle of one long love affair with my surroundings: the flowers, the clouds, the wind and the trees,” she says. “I work mostly outside from spring to autumn and am immersed in nature. This show is a tribute, a way to say thank you to these elements for their beauty and wisdom and all the joy they bring to our lives.”
On occasion, one observes a color so beautiful that it must be committed to memory, but what happens to its exact shade, dimension and luster as it is filed, to be recalled at a later date?
