Commission for Home in Delray Beach

Pleased with the installation of BLUE SPINNER II in this light-filled contemporary home of new collector’s in Delray Beach, Florida. The commission came about through my exhibit at Beth Urdang Gallery this spring.

Fou Gallery, Brooklyn: Take a Break

(New York—December 9, 2023) Nestled in the bustling art hub of New York, Fou Gallery hits a milestone - ten years of diving deep into the art world and letting creativity run wild, starting way back in December 2013. Known for its wholehearted commitment to the meaningful and beautiful world of art, Fou Gallery has grown into a place where skill, fresh ideas, and community vibes blend together in a dazzling display of visual and performing narratives.

At this pivotal moment of reflection and celebration, Fou Gallery unveils "TAKE A BREAK," an exhibition that gently diverges from its energetic roots to embrace the serene whispers of repose. This exhibition is not just a showcase but a poetic dialogue, reimagining 'Art' not as a distant deity but as a tender companion in the dance of daily life, offering solace and enlightenment in every brushstroke and hue.

13 NEW PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS IN NYC JULY 2021…

“This summer, New Jersey-based multi-disciplinary artist Wendy Letven will have two sculpture works on display in Riverside Park as part of Karin Bravin’s Re:Growth public art exhibition. The first, There Are Holes In My Perception Of The Forest, located at 125th and Riverside Drive, features an aluminum-cut structure painted in various shades of blue, brown, green, and yellow. The structure’s holes allow in the careful flow of light work to evoke the sensation of dappled light and the swirling effect of wind on trees. In addition, the artwork intentionally uses negative space to connote gaps in Letven’s perception of the world around her and the presence of the unseen forces of nature at work.

Letven’s second piece, Four Currents, is located at 83rd Street on the waterfront. It was conceived to represent the convergence of energies surrounding Riverside Park — the flow of the Hudson River, the park’s urban surroundings, the energy of the sun, and the area’s powerful wind forces. Both sculptures will be on display through September 13, 2021.”
