Event Series Event Series (See All)

September 14 @ 8:00 am 2:00 pm

With nature as his teacher, Ran Adler transforms the rough and disordered materials found in the meandering wild into works imbued with harmony and intention. The assemblages in this exhibition, curated specifically for the Garden’s unique spaces, highlight Adler’s meditative approach to life and creating, finding peace in chaos. View this exhibition in Kapnick Hall and Fogg Café, now – October 27.

About the Artist

As a child, Ran Adler was drawn to nature and natural materials. Coming home with pockets full of plants, he was and is a collector of inspiration. As a self-taught creator, Adler opened his first floral studio in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1986. By the mid-90s, he started to lean into assemblage art as his medium. Adler, now a full-time artist, has lived and worked in Naples, Florida, for 20 years and has completed commissions for collectors throughout the United States and internationally. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Colorado, Florida, Missouri, and New Mexico. Learn more about Ran Adler on our blog!
