December 6 – January 5
Opening reception -December 8
Unbound Visual Arts, Inc. and the Faneuil Branch of the Boston Public Library in Oak Square are pleased to present the fine art exhibition, Nadia Richman: “Skyscape Drama”.
The exhibition includes original oil paintings on the theme of dramatic and glorious skies that the artist has captured in painting changing cloud formations above ocean beaches and landscapes. Nadia uses her paintbrush to illuminate and contrast majestic skies throughout the day and night and creates brilliant colors as well as threatening darker storm scenes. In total, the exhibition presents a group of paintings that are recognizable natural scenes to everyone. But her use of different oil textures, colors and brush strokes, as well as the natural skyscapes themselves, help present a sense of abstraction. She starts with a photograph “to capture the moment and not be overpowered by the image” before her thus “trapped by trying to depict it realistically.” All the paintings are steeped in drama and mystery and serve to reveal and elicit many emotions and feelings from the exhibition viewer, just as Nadia had intended.
Nadia Richman, of Brighton, received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Clark University. She also attended the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and The Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC. Most recently, Nadia has continued he art training at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She has exhibited in several group exhibits in the Boston and the Washington DC area.
