This event has ended.

Nancy Margolis Gallery presents Sylvia Naimark’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, Dog Secret.

Swedish artist Sylvia Naimark paints fictitious worlds imbued with mysticism, sublimity, and quietness. Dog Secret comprises 23 oil paintings that masterfully blend figuration and abstraction to conjure impressions of the familiar and the foreign. Naimark’s work from this series can be divided into three distinct categories: intimate studies of old mementos; depictions of transient figures dwarfed by vast, atmospheric landscapes; and people and animals interacting with one another in uncanny and spiritual ways. When looked at as a whole, these paintings provide hints or glimpses of larger narratives that the viewer can construct herself.
