Mavi Contemporary Art is excited to announce our June-July guest exhibition, Nina Weiss: Under Pink Skies. Nina Weiss will be in attendance at the Reception on June 16th, this month’s 3rd Thursday Art Walk.

Do you believe the color at heart in a landscape is green? Or burnt sienna? Think again! Weiss’ work proves the color depths and layers of landscape, full of ardent instinct and color theory. Her work lives to travel. Weiss says “I tease out the complex colors of the landscape using layers of color, line, and form to build (these vibrant paintings and drawings). The works are each a powerful moment from my travels in the everyday landscapes of our world.”

The Chicago Tribune wrote about her work’s inclusion in the movie “The Ice Harvest”: http://www.ninaweiss.com/downloads/ninaweiss_tribune.pdf

Nina Weiss is a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College. Nina will be having a show of her large-scale landscape paintings this September with the Illinois Artisan Program at the Illinois State Museum Southern Illinois A.rt & Artisan Center
