A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - In this curatorial selection, birds move through this selection as both subject and gesture. Across these works, they appear in silhouette, dissolve into fields of color, emerge from dense foliage, or gather in rhythmic formations that blur the line between figure and pattern.
Rather than describing specific species or landscapes, these artists focus on movement itself—the sudden shift of a flock, the sweep of a wing, the collective energy of bodies in motion. In some works, birds are unmistakable. In others, they are absorbed into the surrounding composition, becoming part of a larger visual current.
Color carries much of that momentum. Saturated blues, electric pinks, vivid greens, and luminous oranges create a sense of continual motion, as though the paintings are still unfolding beyond the edge of the frame.
Together, these works consider flight not as an image, but as a condition: fleeting, restless, and impossible to hold still.
