Nicolette Reim "The Public Life of Flowers"
M55 Art
This event has ended.
The Public Life of Flowers is a nod to the ongoing relationship between poets and artists. In particular, the concept of poets gathering words as one would gather flowers for a bouquet, a gathering of colors. I don’t “compose” these drawings of flowers, so much as “write them,” as I see them in front of me. The line of composition is fluid , not a hesitating, searching one. Why would one prefer to draw than write? Perhaps it is not one over the other, but the intensity of both. The history of exchange between poet and visual artist is intense. Who would not want to be part of that dialogue? I “write” the flowers in this exhibit into a form of visual poetry.
Nicolette Reim studied at The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. She has lived and worked for most of her life in New York City. For many years she collaborated in video film, primarily as art director/set designer. Her works were exhibited and aired in the United States and Mexico. They are a part of permanent collections such as in the Museum of Modern Art, NYC and the Public Television and Museum of Broadcast Communications, Chicago. She continues to work in visual mediums that include elements of words and currently makes pictures on paper and canvas, showing in Atlanta, Ga., where she lives part time, and New York City.
