nina nielsen at storefront art projects
storefront art projects is proud to present a selection of Nina Nielsen’s recent paintings.
As critic Elizabeth Michelman reminds us in her upcoming review in the March/April issue of Artscope Magazine: "For four decades, New England artists, art students and art lovers cut their teeth on contemporary abstract art at the Nielsen Gallery, a three-story brownstone at 179 Newbury Street…Until the early 1970's, few had dared to challenge the Boston Brahmins’ stalwart resistance to entertaining modernist and post-war sensibilities in art. Nielsen dared."
Nina is painting now, and her work is alive and colorful, abstract and spiritual, and some pieces are gritty with sand mixed in with the oils.
Nina says, “The test of all art […] created in every time period is if the meaning—the why, not the how—communicates deeply with every human being no matter when they live. Art reaches beyond social relevance to the timelessness of the universe which we all share.”
We hope you can visit.
