Nest, Member Artists Group Exhibition

Nest gathers a diverse collection of works by BAU Gallery artists, exploring themes of home, shelter, and creation. Spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and mixed-media practices, the exhibition examines the idea of the “nest” as both a literal and metaphorical space—one of nurture, protection, and potential.

Through varied mediums, the artists delve into the many facets of the nest: its intricate construction, its role as a sanctuary, and its symbolism as a site of beginnings. Delicate drawings and prints evoke the fragility and precision of organic forms, while sculptural works and assemblages transform materials into structures that speak of balance, resilience, and care. Paintings layer texture and color to suggest emotional and physical landscapes, inviting viewers to reflect on their own definitions of home and belonging.

Nest invites audiences to consider the duality of nests as places of rootedness and flight—spaces where life gathers, grows, and inevitably moves outward. In a world that is constantly shifting, the works in this exhibition serve as reminders of the vital connections between creation, community, and the environments we build for ourselves and each other.

Through its wide-ranging interpretations, Nest celebrates the universality of this enduring motif, offering a shared space to contemplate the beauty and complexity of finding and making a home.
