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”. This solo exhibition opens on
December 6 and runs through January 5. The public opening
reception and discussion with the artist is on Saturday, December 8 from Noon – 2:00 pm.
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.
