On view now at Nazarin Cucio in LA: Avital Burg: A Passing Shadow and a Vanishing Cloud

"The exhibition’s title is drawn from a line in a poem recited during the Jewish High Holidays, in which human experience is described as fleeting: “Like broken shards, like dry grass, and like a withered flower; like a passing shadow and a vanishing cloud, like a breeze that passes, like dust that scatters.” Burg’s paintings echo this reflection on transience by making such fleeting changes perceptible as they unfold over time."

On view until May 16

Nazarian / Curcio is pleased to present A passing shadow and a vanishing cloud , a solo exhibition of new paintings by Israeli-born, Brooklyn-based artist Avital Burg. The exhibition opens with a reception on Saturday, April 11 from 6 - 8 pm. This marks Burg’s first solo exhibition with the...

Opening May 14th at Kathryn Markel: "Charles Ritchie: Drawings from a Room"

At night, my window blends the streetscape with my studio’s reflection and I am intrigued with the merging spaces and associations that arise. Yet the pictures begin with the scene and aim to move deeper, beyond what is seen. Often the invisible is what is most evocative and by offering the viewer a context in which essential details are veiled, I leave things open to interpretation. Both night and daylight are often engaged for obscuring qualities."
