Color that refuses to sit quietly. From unexpected pairings to saturated fields and expressive gestures, the Striking Color Edit brings together works that use color as more than a visual language, it becomes the energy of the work itself.

In her latest body of work, Firoozeh Neman explores the relationship between the feminine form and the natural landscape. Drawing from the mountains, hills, and foothills surrounding her Ojai studio, Neman creates sculptural forms that feel both grounded and elemental. Working intuitively, she allows each piece to evolve organically, responding to gestures, textures, and details as they emerge rather than determining its final form in advance. Through this interplay of intention and instinct, Neman creates works that embody serenity, strength, and a deep connection to the natural world.

In her latest body of work, Jeanette Getrost explores the intersection of memory, nature, and physical form through the seasonal transition of autumn. Drawing from her return to Ojai, a landscape connected to both her childhood and present life, Getrost considers place as a vessel for memory, inheritance, and renewal. Victorian dress, vintage textiles, shifting cloudscapes, and expansive landscapes appear throughout the works, bringing personal relics into dialogue with the natural world. Through these dreamlike compositions, Getrost reflects on homecoming, ancestral presence, and the ways past and present can converge in moments of transition.

In his latest body of work, Gabriel Guthrie explores the generative potential of opposing forces and the ways contradiction can create new possibilities for connection. Through juxtapositions of color, material, and process, Guthrie brings together elements that appear at odds: green and red, water and oil, additive and subtractive gestures, concealed layers and exposed surfaces. Beginning with an unpredictable monoprinting process before introducing layers of paint, oil pastel, and oil stick, he balances intuition, intention, and chance. Through this interplay of separation and connection, the works consider how distinct forms and seemingly contradictory states can retain their individuality while becoming something more through their relationship to one another.

For Sarana Haeata, painting is a way of tracing the stories we carry with us. Drawing from identity, the female experience, and ideas of collective memory, her practice considers how we find belonging in lives that are constantly shifting. Paint, oil pastel, pigment, and mixed media accumulate across the surface, creating works that feel instinctive and deeply lived in. In her latest collection, that language becomes especially vibrant, honoring the strength of women and the joy, connection, and resilience found along the way.

In her latest body of work, Christine Kwon explores color, light, and atmosphere through translucent layers of acrylic that gradually build depth and luminosity. Moving away from more defined imagery, Kwon allows organic lines, geometric forms, and fields of color to emerge and dissolve across the surface. Rooted in memory, her compositions consider how subtle shifts in color and light can evoke feelings of stillness, distance, longing, and recognition. Through this intuitive process, Kwon creates contemplative works that move between clarity and ambiguity, inviting viewers to bring their own memories and associations to each painting.

In her latest work, Caroline Pinney explores the evolving nature of identity and the experience of becoming reacquainted with oneself following motherhood. Returning to her longstanding interest in the body, social interaction, and the relationships that shape us, Pinney approaches these themes from a newly intimate perspective. The works carry a heightened sense of vulnerability, considering the tension between how we are perceived by others and how we come to recognize ourselves amid periods of profound personal change.

In her latest body of work, Jenna Bitar transforms the Earth’s landscapes into richly layered abstractions that explore the interconnectedness of land, sea, and sky. Inspired by aerial perspectives, her compositions trace the visual language of sediment, erosion, and elemental formation, revealing the quiet rhythms and histories embedded within the natural world. Through atmospheric color and textured surfaces, Bitar invites viewers to experience landscape not simply as a place, but as a living record of time, memory, and the unseen forces that connect us all
