Gallery Jupiter in Little Silver, New Jersey, presents "The Immersive Landscape," a solo exhibition of paintings by artist Christie Scheele, running from April 30 through June 11, 2026. The show features Scheele's open vista landscape paintings and her new Place Series assemblages, which incorporate foraged natural materials like stones, bark, and seaweed. An opening reception is scheduled for April 30. In conjunction with Earth Day, Scheele also collaborated with artist Kathleen Sweeney and designer Dominick Santise on EcoAction Cards, a set of activity cards aimed at inspiring environmental action.
This exhibition matters as it highlights a contemporary artist's evolving response to environmental challenges through both traditional painting and mixed-media assemblage. Scheele's work bridges color-field abstraction with direct engagement with nature, reflecting broader art-world trends toward ecological awareness and material experimentation. The show also underscores the role of small, community-focused galleries like Gallery Jupiter in fostering local art scenes and supporting artists who address pressing global issues such as climate change.
