From Above : Di Donna, New York, NY

The directors of Di Donna Galleries are delighted to present the exhibition From Above, bringing together a variety of works of both American and European artists that share a common interest in high vantage points as an influential point of departure. The exhibition consists of paintings, photographs, objects and sculpture with artworks from the late 19th century up to the present.

From Above presents examples of how modern and contemporary artists position their gaze, and, at times, their bodies, from a lofty vantage point, manifesting the world in all its sublime intensity, or simply focusing on what is literally below, be it commonplace or extraordinary. Whether working within the parameters of representation or abstraction, conceptual or political, the artists in From Above (and as a result, the viewers) question how we fit into the world.
