Nancy Scheinman Solo Exhibition | Opening Reception

Y:ART Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its fifthteenth exhibition and third solo show, featuring the exceptional collage paintings of Nancy Scheinman. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017 from 6pm - 9pm.

Nancy Scheinman fuses beauty, meditation and personal experience in thought provoking paintings; layering patterns and time. Painted, printed, nailed and incised, her painting relate to medieval artists by boxing sub-text narratives within the space of the main image. Acid washes on hand embossed sheets of copper combined with canvas, bronze wire cloth and etched clear vinyl have been likened to an alchemist’s approach. The spiritual is made visual, as real events and emotional conditions are simultaneously projected onto the landscape. These collages interweave her own chronology yet leave the enigmatic narrative ambiguous. Their hybrid of the mundane and fantastical, imbue her images with mystery and spirituality.
