About
Why this artist matters now
Sonja Sekula was a Swiss painter working in gestural abstraction during the postwar period, balancing fluid organic forms against architectural precision. Moving between Europe and New York, she developed a practice centered on color relationships and spontaneous mark-making that oscillated between intuitive gesture and formal control. Her work sits at the intersection of European constructivism and American abstract expressionism, though she remained largely independent of both movements' institutional frameworks.
