"PRAIRIE VISIONS"
- NINA WEISS

The large-scale oil on canvas paintings in the Prairie series delve into the layers; colors; and textures created by the flowers and grasses of the natural prairie landscape. A close-up entry into this complex mass of organic matter allows me to concentrate on the gestural physicality of painting (line; gesture; color) with less emphasis on the traditional subject matter of landscape










FALL 2019

LANDED One-person show of large-scale landscapes on un-stretched canvas at Firecat Projects; Chicago IL.

Chicago:

Nostalgia

Groshek Art Gallery 2136 N. Halsted Chicago, IL 60614

Opening September 16, 2016

Nostalgia is defined as a longing for the past, a wistful affection for a period or place that holds personal significance. For an artist, this feeling can be translated in many different ways.

At Groshek Gallery, the sentiment will be explored through a series of artists and their personal interpretation of nostalgia. For some, this means displaying an older work, something created during

a time for which the artist holds a special fondness. For others, they created new works that represented their personal nostalgia.
