New York, NY
The Kravets/Wehby Gallery, in collaboration with Anna Kustera Gallery, is pleased to announce the opening of I DREAD TO THINK, an exhibition of new works by Nina Chanel Abney.
At Kravets/Wehby
Gallery, Abney will present new small and mid-sized paintings. Across the
street at Anna Kustera Gallery, Abney will debut her sixty foot long, six foot
tall painting that she has been working on for the past two years. Starting
with the idea of painting a post-apocalyptic scene, Abney brings together many
different threads of influence. The world she paints mimics in style the rapid
dissemination of ideas and images that have become so closely associated with
social media and the Internet. Taking information from the glut around her,
Abney draws on art history, current events and issues of race, politics, sex
and gender to present a world that rejects a narrative. Instead, Abney seeks to
highlight the cacophony of her contemporary world.
Nina Chanel Abney is an
artist who works in New York City. Her work is currently on view at the
Brooklyn Museum and at the Corcoran Museum in Washington D.C. She was recently
included in Vitamin P2 and featured in Departures Magazine. A selection of her
work can be seen in the traveling exhibition, “30 Americans” from the Rubell Family
Collection.
