This event has ended.

Angelina Nasso's oil on paper works are inspired by nature using gem-like circular forms that reference pixilated images and draw upon the theory of subatomic particles in space. She views space as a container of vibrational forces. Nasso describes, "I grew up in the bush in Australia where the nights were very dark. There were no streetlights and hardly any cars went by. In the darkness of a moonless night I would watch space. In this blackness I saw circular forms dancing and vibrating." It is here that we as viewers become witness to this visual process of interconnected and interrelated forms in suspended animation. Layered with luminous transparent and opaque colors these paintings embody scintillating visual translations of events in nature: whether they be waterfalls, torrents, wellsprings or geysers. They live between illusion and materiality, where sometimes a recognizable element appears and then it disappears. Nasso's technique has an effortless elegance yet each work is exuberant and full of energy. Through her use of sapphire blues, emerald greens, and deep violets, she creates a delicate balance between light and nature resulting in a painterly world that is fleeting, hovering, and weightless, yet very much grounded in the material.
