Nicole Wittenberg (San Francisco, 1979 - ) is an American artist known for her expressive, radiant, and vivid use of color in her work, as she aims to capture the visual and affective intensity of witnessing certain moments in nature. Wittenberg explains, “I strive to capture the sensorial emotions of particular moments and experiences in nature–chasing the feeling of being there. Less about naturalism, what I find interesting is the translation of a lived experience and sensation into an image so I can return to that moment every time I make and see a painting.” Graduating with her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2003, she later received the American Academy of Arts and Letters John Koch Award for Best Young Figurative Painter in 2012.  Today, Wittenberg’s works are held in many collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, The Albertina, Vienna, and The Boston Museum of Fine Art, Boston, MA, among others.

 

Her recent solo and group exhibitions include "A Sailboat in the Moonlight" at Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Ogunquit, Maine (2025); "Cheek to Cheek" at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockland, Maine (2025); "Ain't Misbehavin'" at Maison La Roche in Paris, France (2025); "Trav’lin’ Light" at The Journal Gallery in Patmos, Greece (2024); "We’ve got forever" at Massimo De Carlo in Milan, Italy (2024); "Human Nature" at The Journal Gallery in Los Angeles, California (2024); "Jumping' at the Woodside" at Fernberger Gallery in Los Angeles, California (2024); Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery in New York, New York (2023); "Flesh & Flowers: Made in America" curated by Lauren Taschen at No Name in Paris, France (2023); "Distant Waters" at Nina Johnson Gallery in Miami, Florida (2023); "Moonshine Lullaby" at Massimo De Carlo in London, United Kingdom (2023); "Our Love is Here to Stay" at Acquavella Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida (2022); Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery in New York, New York (2022); "Honeysuckle Rose" at Ross + Kramer in East Hampton, New York (2021); "Rewilding" at Nino Mier Gallery in Los Angeles, California (2021); "Sunday Kind of Love" at Nina Johnson Gallery in Miami, Florida (2020); Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery in New York, New York (2020); "In Her Hands" curated by David Salle at Skarstedt Gallery in New York, New York (2020); "Them, There, Eyes" at Yours Mine Ours Gallery in New York, New York (2018); "Downtown Painting" at Peter Freeman Gallery in New York, New York (2019); "Visionary Painting" curated by Alex Katz at Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine (2017); and "All the Best People" at 1:1 Gallery in New York, New York (2013).
