Nancy Hoffman Gallery

In her new portrait series, Nathalia Ednemont continues her exploration of fundamental themes such as birth, death, womanhood, sex, beauty an decay. The works present us with an implied tension between painting and photography, abstraction and figuration, and most importantly attraction and repulsion. Like "beauty and the beast" we are drawn in by the beauty and become squeamish when we know the dress is composed of hundreds of beetles. . Nathalia Edenmont, "From Within," c-...print mounted onto aluminum behind glass, 51.25 x 41.5 inches. . Nathalia Edenmont's solo exhibition continues through May 8th. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 to 6. We hope to welcome you to view this exhibition in person, please remember to wear your mask and practice social distancing. . @edenmont @the_adaa #currentexhibition #beetles #portrait #portraitphotography #photography #contemporaryportrait #contemporaryphotography #cobtemporaryart #contemporarygallery #chelseagalleries #adaagalleries #rebirth #nathaliaedenmont @artsy #beetles #dressmaking See more

Timothy Cummings's paintings are dream-like fantasies, each has a figure or figures as focal point. Much of Cummings's work addresses the issue of youthful turmoil, of that awkward moment between childhood and adulthood, of identity, of gender. This self-taught artist lives and works in New Mexico. . #acryliconcanvas #inthestudio #acrylicpainting #selftaughtartist #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartist #contemproarygallery #chelseagalleries #adaagalleries #artsy #contemproaryartgallery #timothycummings #newmexicoartist #artiststudio Timothy Cummings

"For a long time I have worked with two different series - portraits of women and collages made of butterfly wings, photographed with an analogue, large format, 8 x 10 camera Sinar and printed, of course, in large scale. In the artwork, Nobel, those two series finally come together." -- Nathalia Edenmont .

Nathalia Edenmont's figurative work is composed with a team of 8 to 12 people, a process that takes from 14 to 22 hours. She has two camera assistants, a hair stylist, a dressmaker, but it is Nathalia who is at the camera, communicating, talking with the model, waiting for the perfect instant to capture the model's soul on the film. She is the director, the creator, the orchestrator of the photoshoot. . In this new body of work, the dresses are composed of luminous creatures... -- no longer alive -- golden, green, iridescent pink, blue, shiny, shimmery beetles. The beetles represent transition. A young, beautiful body is hidden and transformed by the beetles, taking the form of a pupa; life transforming from one stage to another. In these portraits, Edenmont continues her exploration of fundamental themes such as birth, death, womanhood, sex, beauty and decay. The works present us with an implied tension between painting and photography, abstraction and figuration, and most importantly attraction and repulsion. .

"In my latest series of Butterfly works, I am mirroring my photographs. The real butterfly has two identical sides and I have discovered that I can apply this to my work. In the artwork, Euphoria, a female creature appears in the middle. She is in the deep jungle and surrounded by powerful flowers and raindrops. She is standing there by herself and thinking in the rain. This all created by butterfly wings." -- Nathalia Edenmont .

Nathalia Edenmont's new exhibition entitled "Rebirth," is now open and on view at the gallery. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 to 6 and hope to welcome you here to see this beautiful show in person. Please remember to wear your mask and practice social distancing. . Long fascinated by butterflies, their sheer natural beauty, and their symbolism, Edenmont centers her show around these elusive creatures, creating the largest collages on which she has ever worked, ...as well as creating garments of iridescent beetles in which she dresses her "sitters" or models. Known for her images of women wearing dresses composed of fruits and flowers, Edenmont takes, what for her, is the next step, toward dresses composed of luminous creatures - no longer alive - golden, green, iridescent pink, blue, shiny, shimmery beetles. The dress is composed around the model, a process that takes from 14-22 hours of work for team of ten people. Edenmont is the director, the creator, the orchestrator of the photo shoot. Everything in the photograph is real, shot with 8x10 film. There is no photoshpop, no digital manipulation, no correction of any kind. The artist has to capture what she wants when the clicks the camera or hours of work and cost are gone. . #currentexhibition #beetles #butterflywings #butterflies #dresses #photography #contrmporaryphotography #contemporaryportrait #contemporaryart #contemporarygallery #chesleagalleries #adaagalleries @edenmont @the_adaa #newexhbition #rebirth #installpics #installationview #galleryinstallation See more
