Held in a Raindrop
Jan 17 — Mar 28, 2026
Held in a Raindrop is a solo exhibition by acclaimed painter Mary Weather, opening at Agnes Keller Gallery in New York City. The show presents a new body of work that continues Weather’s exploration of abstracted landscapes, infused with emotional resonance and poetic gesture. Known for her bold use of Flashe paint, neon tubing, and shellac ink, Weatherford’s pieces evoke the ephemeral beauty of nature and memory.
This exhibition draws inspiration from fleeting moments light breaking through clouds, the hush of rain, and the shimmer of wet earth.Each canvas in Held in a Raindrop is a meditation on atmosphere, time, and place, rendered through expressive mark-making and layered color.
Weather’s landscapes are not literal depictions but rather emotional topographies, shaped by her personal experiences and travels.The title suggests a sense of containment and fragility, as if entire worlds are suspended within a single drop of rain. Her work bridges the gap between abstraction and narrative, inviting viewers to feel rather than interpret.
The exhibition includes both largescale paintings and intimate works on paper, showcasing her range and sensitivity.
Weather’s signature neon elements pulse with energy, adding sculptural dimension and light to the compositions. This show marks her first solo presentation at Agnes Keller Gallery, a space known for championing contemporary voices. Held in a Raindrop continues Weather’s legacy of pushing the boundaries of landscape painting.
Her practice is rooted in the traditions of Color Field painting, yet she reimagines them through a feminist and contemporary lens.
The works reflect her deep engagement with the social and environmental histories of place.
Weatherford’s paintings have been exhibited internationally and are held in major museum collections.
Visitors to the exhibition will encounter a world both familiar and dreamlike, where nature becomes a metaphor for emotion.
The opening reception promises to be a vibrant gathering of artists, collectors, and critics.
Held in a Raindrop runs through the fall season, offering a contemplative escape from the city’s pace.
It is a celebration of abstraction’s power to evoke memory, sensation, and transformation.
Mary Weather invites us to step into the rain—and to see what holds within.
