Nina Bovasso "New Works on Paper"
BravinLee Programs
This event has ended.
Nina Bovasso's work has been described at various times as being "euphoric," "intense," "over the top," and "a Dutch Still Life on acid." The paintings are executed principally with water based material-ink, acrylic, watercolor and gouache on Dieu Donne hand made Abaca paper. They have been described as a "co-mingling of densely packed marks, colors lines and forms." The result is a "formal tornado effect as bits of visual imagery are pulled and pushed through space by unseen energy forces." People have observed that they are "cosmic" "molecular" "60's" "beautiful" "scary" "hyper-hilarious" and "off the hook abstraction."
"Bovasso reinterprets the language of high modernist abstraction by blending psychedlic, pop-art-like references." "60s patternings, psychic blips, and urban cacophony, particularly the multi-leveled, chaotic structures of new architecture."
"The works are beautifully rendered and their brightly colored strands and layers are created to a joyful and iridescent effect." "Mad scientist!"
