Nathlie Provosty, Threshold Speech, 2025

Nathlie Provosty (b. 1981, Cincinnati, Ohio; based in New York) is known for paintings and drawings which use subtle, highly tactile qualities of oil paint that oscillate visually and conceptually due to the paintings’ multi-referential imagery, physical interaction with light and the environment, erotic inferences, and continuous spatial shifts.

Recent solo exhibitions include those at ICA Milano, Italy and Risorgimento Museum, Turin, Italy. Recent group exhibitions include a dual presentation with works by Carol Rama at Collezione Ramo, Milan, Italy and To Bend the Ear of the Outer World, curated by Gary Garrels at Gagosian, London, United Kingdom.

Her works are in institutional collections such as MoMA, New York; SFMoMA, San Francisco; MFA Houston; Norton Museum, West Palm Beach; Buffalo AKG Art Museum; Baltimore Museum of Art; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine; Rubell Family Collection, Miami; Colby Museum of Art, Maine; Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, New York; Olgiati Collection, Lugano, Switzerland; PART, Palazzi dell’Arte Rimini, Italy.
