Nola Zirin "Virtual Vistas"
June Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
Virtual Vistas, an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Nola Zirin – vibrant, other-worldly visions of mythic objects and patterns speeding, hovering and swaying in space -- is currently being shown at the June Kelly Gallery and will remain on view through December 29.
Zirin’s new work, says art writer Jill Conner, crosses “the boundary between the everyday and the transcendental. Pictorial depth renders a light, buoyant effect as each painting captures the dynamism of this world.”
Conner says that Zirin’s paintings are ‘clearly about capturing an aura and an ambiance, by utilizing the structure of the landscape.”
In the painting, Pisces Propelled, for example, Conner notes, Zirin “presents a monolithic sweep of gray and white paint that could be mistaken as either a wave, the warped cornice of a Corinthian column or a snap-shot of clouds. This sense of space remains just short of a literal materialization as a handful; of yellow, blue and black lines lightly emerge from the center.”
In all her paintings, “From foreground to background,” Conner says, “the artist creates a painterly rendition of abstract space, revealing depth in color. ... Nola Zirin’s densely hued surfaces affirm that colors create an array of feelings (and) resonate a subjective mood.”
