Meet Real Unreal Painter Andrea Nakhla

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:49 GMT

Andrea Nakhla formulates compositions using hybrid means—blending elements, tools, and techniques along a continuum of real, hyperreal, and surreal in scenes of heightened symbolism and inscrutable, urgent events. With the strange logic of a dream, her sensibility references the way digital visions render space in vectors, along with how the hands work up gestures in paint. With arcades and windows opening onto far and level horizons of de Chirico-like sands, her rooms are built of patterned planes, torqued angles, paintings within paintings, stylized furniture, and poetic objects of mystery. These palaces of invention have a jazzy, interpretive relationship to conventions of landscape and architecture, and are inhabited by sleek, anthropoid figures in ceremonial poses. Also like in dreams, Nakhla’s scenes tease a fusion of the invented and remembered, enacting meditations on the mind-body connection and the ultimate source of meaning. Her work is currently on view at Luna Anais Gal...
