Sarah Cain

Sarah Cain moves beyond the traditional notion of painting within the frame by exploring abstraction and spatial interventions in a wide range of media and found materials. Leading a way into new territories of abstraction, Cain moves fluidly between works on site and her object-based studio practice. Though the diversity of her materials makes each work unique, Cain’s practice is unified through her meditative, of-the-moment, and personal approach to transforming the individual experience into a universal poetry.  Cain’s oeuvre also includes works on paper, which, like her site-works and paintings, utilize a broad spectrum of color and freedom within the medium.  

In 2021, Cain’s work will be the subject of solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Tang Teaching Museum, Saratoga Springs, New York; and The Momentary, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas. Solo presentations of her work has been staged at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, California and the Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh, North Carolina.
