Lines, Layers and Land presents a quiet and contemplative body of work by H. Keith Wagner—an artist whose eye for form, space, and material has long shaped the landscapes we move through, and now offers us a view inward, through paint.

Known for his award-winning landscape architecture, Wagner brings the same clarity of line and reverence for place into his studio practice.

Rooted in the agrarian landscapes of his youth, Wagner’s paintings distill open fields, furrowed soil, and horizon lines into rhythmic compositions of shape and surface. These are not depictions of place, but evocations—works that feel less mapped than remembered. His minimal compositions, rich with texture and restraint, suggest that absence can be as powerful as presence.

With a restrained palette and a devotion to the essential, Wagner’s paintings carry both the precision of design and the looseness of recollection. Line, repetition, and texture become a kind of language—whispering something just beyond the visible.

Lines, Layers and Land runs from July 9 through August 9, 2025.

An opening reception with the artist will be held on Friday, July 11 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Light snacks and refreshments will be offered. All are welcome.
