Sohn Fine Art is proud to present Blaze, Smolder, Char, an elemental exploration of fire and smoke as artistic mediums. Featuring the work of acclaimed artists Marieken Cochius, Dennis Lee Mitchell, and Leah Raintree, the exhibition ignites a conversation between materiality, transformation and the ephemeral.
Through processes that involve actual fire and smoke as well as materials made from those components, each artist pushes the boundaries of traditional mark-making, harnessing the raw, unpredictable qualities of nature’s most volatile elements. The result is a mesmerizing and visceral body of work that speaks to destruction, regeneration, and the delicate balance between chaos and control. Blaze, Smolder, Char invites viewers to contemplate the paradoxical nature of fire: its capacity to destroy and to illuminate, to leave marks that are at once wild and beautiful. This exhibition is both a sensory experience and a meditation on impermanence, resilience, and the alchemy of artistic transformation.
