This event has ended.
Nailya Alexander Gallery presents its summer show, Primary Forces.
Inspired by Irina Nakhova’s Primary Colors paintings and her exhibition in the Russian Pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale, the exhibition explores the use of abstraction to represent forces of nature and symbols of power. Primary Forces features the work of both internationally renowned and lesser-known artists and photographers: Irina Nakhova (b. 1955, Moscow), Alexey Titarenko (b. 1962, St. Petersburg), Jurek Wajdowicz (b. 1951, Kraków), Denis Brihat (b. 1928, Paris), Igor Savchenko (b. 1962, Minsk), Nicholas Hughes (b. 1963, Liverpool), Ann Rhoney (b. Niagara Falls, 1953), and Carolyn Marks Blackwood (b. 1951, Anchorage). At the heart of the exhibition are the dual forces of destruction and creation. These forces are made visible in, for example, Nakhova’s bold use of color to evoke the collapse of an empire or the ruins of the World Trade Center; and in the in the otherworldly, almost spiritual landscapes of Wajdowicz and Blackwood.
