Caroline Ongpin

This special pop-up presentation in our East Gallery features new works by Caroline Ongpin made during her 2025 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship at Dieu Donné, the leading nonprofit cultural institution dedicated to the use of hand papermaking processes in contemporary art. In this selection of works, Ongpin uses watermark, blowout, and stencil techniques to explore the subtle possibilities of translucency and color using specifically developed fiber combinations, in relation to her exploration into landscape and waterway imagery.

A complementary selection of Ongpin's works made during her fellowship is on view at Dieu Donné, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
