Nicole Ondre

Nicole Ondre (b. 1986) draws inspiration from knots as practical tools, expressive forms, and mathematical objects. Her work in ceramic sculpture contemplates underlying structures in the material world. Recent solo exhibitions include Torsion (2024) at Tanya Leighton Gallery, Berlin; Heatwork (2023) at Tanya Leighton Gallery, Los Angeles; and Pirl (2022) at CSA Space, Vancouver. Ondre’s work was included in the two-person exhibition The Eyes Have Walls (2020) with Mina Totino at the West Vancouver Art Museum. Other group exhibitions include As Blue As Devotion (2024) at Two Seven Two Gallery in Toronto; And down below the earth shown bright (2023) at ILY2, Portland; and Heart View Knot Bird (2022) at Tanya Leighton Gallery, Los Angeles. Since 2010, Ondre has also worked collaboratively with Vanessa Disler as Feminist Land Art Retreat. She is also represented by Tanya Leighton Gallery.
