New York born artist, Nina Bovasso presents her latest works on paper in a new series titled "What's Your Bubble?". Bovasso's acrylic and ink drawings feature densely constructed, intricately woven abstraction, rich in color and finely executed lines.
Now sprouting legs and feet appropriated from the human form, Disney and Breughel, these anthropomorphized, architectural shapes are transformed into a hybrid of humanness and mobile apparatuses. In this new work, Bovasso's quasi-cartoon, graphic style connects the handmade with the hand-held world of information overload. Through her vibrant images, Bovasso shows the power of the human hand and imagination, while playfully acknowledging the impact of the bit-stream world on our identities.
Bovasso's work can be found in the collections of: Collectie KPN, Netherlands; The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; JP Morgan/ Chase Bank, New York, NY; MoMA, New York, NY; Deutsche Bank, NY/DE; among others. Her work has also been reviewed in Art Forum, The New York Times, Art in America, and TImeOut NY.
Richmond, Virginia-born artist Bruce Wilhelm has been showing his often absurd, always clever artworks with ADA Gallery in Richmond, Virginia since 2005. Asked to describe his latest series of paintings, "Airlock", Bruce says, "My recent work spans the distance from Shopenhauer's black box to Carl Sagan's Cosmos turned pizza box. Fueled by stoner thought experiments, I can make it to the megaliths of Mars." Wilhelm's awards and distinctions include student and professional grants from The Virginia Museum of FIne Art, Richmond, Va; the prestigious Theresa Pollack Scholarship Award, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Va.
