The exhibition will run from August 20th through September 5th 2021,with an opening reception on Friday, August 20th from 5-7 pm.  Join Nüart Gallery for a group exhibition featuring new works by Rose Masterpol and Sunny Taylor, two abstract artists express their worlds with singular perception and insight. Masterpol’s paintings offer whimsical abstraction of shapes and lines in bold, precise color, while Taylor’s meticulous textured and dimensional surfaces play on the disruption of order and beauty, followed by the resolve.

 

Rose Masterpol’s work consists of abstract shapes, lines, instinct, and intuition made from either acrylic or oil on large canvases. Often poetic with unrivaled breadth and depth, her paintings are strong and boldly colored, uncanny and balanced at once. Her technical approach changes to the mood and flow of the next thing that emerges on a new canvas at any given time.“My influences are nature, sound and truth. They alter me in many ways I cannot explain. In that depthless space I can compose, permit, surrender and give birth to something unanticipated. I relinquish conscious thought so that something else can emerge, something inexplicable. I gain access to unearthly realms of the unseen and the unknown through my human experiences…. The end result is a living, breathing, self-actualized entity, a whole and part of the whole, much like the universe.” 

 

Sunny Taylor’s art embodies a built, almost sculptural aesthetic, where images develop through calculated maneuvers that often resemble those of a draftsman, or builder.  I sculpt surfaces with meticulous, labor-intensive processes and many layers of textured paint, and puzzle visual information into the limitations set by the surface dimensions.“I strive to make paintings that resemble these various visual instances I find in my surroundings.  In my process, I create scenarios on the painting surface where I purposely disrupt order and beauty, and give myself visual dilemmas to resolve, where harmony and discord, construction and deconstruction, questioning and answering are all vital in discovering the image's full resolution."
