Graham Nickson's watercolor exhibition at Betty Cuningham Gallery through May 22

Graham Nickson's watercolor exhibition at Betty Cuningham Gallery showcases his dynamic approach to the medium, defying its traditional associations with amateurism. His works, such as 'La Bobadilla Series: VIII' from 2002, explore sunsets and sunrises with a blend of recklessness and grace. Nickson masterfully manipulates pure pigment and aqueous medium to capture crepuscular intensity, balancing bold streaks with meticulous dark tones. The exhibition is on view through May 22 at 15 Rivington Street in New York, located between Bowery and Chrystie streets. David Cohen reviewed the show, highlighting Nickson's fearless technique and the solidity of his compositions. The watercolors, measuring 18 x 24 inches, demonstrate a fusion of speed and exploration in each piece. Nickson's work challenges perceptions of watercolor as a delicate medium, instead presenting it as powerful and luxurious. The gallery can be contacted at 212-242-2772 for more information.
