Nothing Gold Can Stay

Suzanne Yurdin

Curated by J.S. Herbert and Halley Stubis

November 3, 2022 - March 3, 2023 (extended to April 6th)

Studio Gallery and the Stimson Center are excited to present a new collaborative exhibition by Suzanne Yurdin. This show is available for viewing at the Stimson Center in Dupont Circle by appointment only.

Suzanne Yurdin’s paintings use the fragility of nature as a catalyst to awaken our senses to our vanishing natural landscape. This exhibition of paintings explores themes of growth, change, decomposition, and regeneration. Through gestural brushwork and intuitive mark making, the work connects the viewer to their sense of place on Earth and seeks to energize our efforts to save the beauty of places that cannot be replaced.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
