Sandi Gehring

Sandi Gehring is an American artist whose practice centres on the perceptual interplay between colour, form, and the natural world. Working primarily in pastel, oil, and linen, Gehring builds her compositions through an intuitive process: one shape emerging from another, one tone calling forth its counterpoint. Her works do not depict the landscape as it appears, but as it lingers as afterimage and atmosphere, as the memory of shifting light, the rhythm of trees in wind, the quiet correspondence between observation and emotion.

For Gehring, nature is not a subject to be rendered but a structure to be felt but a field of relations where edges dissolve and perception becomes porous. Each work often begins from a fleeting detail, a branch, a shadow, a reflection that unfolds into a meditation on balance, harmony, and the passage of time. Through subtle transitions of hue and density, she captures the intangible qualities of place and season, translating sensation into form.

Originally from New York, Gehring relocated to Amsterdam more than two decades ago: a move that profoundly shaped her artistic sensibility. She studied at the Art Students League and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, and later at the Wackers Academie in Amsterdam. Gehring’s work is represented by galleries in Paris, Seoul, and New York, including Amelie du Chalard Gallery and JN Gallery.
