Third Door Brooklyn Art Show Opening

​You Can Cut All the Flowers, but You Cannot Keep Spring From Coming is Third Door Brooklyn’s first group art exhibition, inspired by a widely shared line of hope and resistance often attributed to the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.

​The exhibition reflects on what cannot be taken away. The works in this exhibition approach renewal through multiple forms and gestures. Mary Royall’s paintings of light draw attention to the immediate world around us, urging awareness of what is already present. Dipa Halder’s abstract works made with raw pigment and salt register traces of presence and absence. Devon Grime’s images of shared tables and meals reflect moments of gathering, nourishment, and the pleasure of being together. Sophie Kitching’s abstract florals on paper are the premise for her large-scale paintings and murals in which the expression of nature knows no bounds. And Gabrielle Guthrie’s split-panel abstract landscapes speak to a desire for connection despite distance and division.
