PRIMARY @ NUDASHANK opens TONIGHT!

PRIMARY

Opening Friday, August 17th
7 - 10pm

Nudashank is pleased to present Primary, a guest curated survey of recent works in abstraction by ten, female New-York based artists. The exhibition includes works by Katie Bell, Tatiana Berg, Susan Bricker, Stacy Fisher, Amanda B. Friedman, Joanne Greenbaum, Clare Grill, Fabienne Lasserre, Lauren Luloff and Elisa Soliven.

Working against convention, these artists are putting into practice an "abject expressionism" in respect to materials, composition, color and form, sharing a rogue sense of what constitutes beauty. Among other things, the works in this exhibition reflect an instinctual acting upon surfaces or materials. The artists’ touches are visible, active, and at times assertive--each tear, scrape, twist and drip intentional and impactful. Comprised of paintings, sculpture and the in-between, Primary is not interested in complete resolution and finishing touches--just warm embraces of the imperfect, irregular and open-ended.

Primary opens on August 17, 2012, with a reception for the artists from 7-10pm. The exhibition runs through September 14, 2012

Big Sky Mind features recent works by Holly Coulis, Elisa Soliven and Mitchell Wright. Each of these artists approach a traditional genre – classical busts, painterly landscapes and intuitive drawings - in an overwhelmingly physical way. Though divergent in production and methodology, their works are as tactile as they are cerebral, abstractly and literally layered. Separately, these works exude personal visions of the most general notions: body, self, and environment. The group, though, is specifically aligned to embrace the multiple contexts that particular objects inhabit and to exploit these viewpoints as spaces for contemplation. big. sky. mind.
