Jill Nathanson's 'the air we swim in' exhibition at Messineo/Wyman through December 20

Jill Nathanson showcases her exhibition 'the air we swim in' at Messineo/Wyman in New York City, featuring seven paintings that delve into non-objective abstraction through the use of translucent color layers. This exhibition is open until December 20 at 511 West 25th Street, Suite 504. Her artwork includes overlapping color planes that form vast surfaces with organic shapes, suggesting a gentle, fluid motion while retaining a sense of lightness. Nathanson refers to her paintings as embodying 'the world of things,' yet her technique is distinctly abstract. The 2012 artwork 'Bowtie' illustrates the closest visual link between real objects and her artistic interpretation, showcasing two triangular orange planes meeting at a tiny point. She skillfully combines soft and vibrant colors to create moments of captivating tension, with layers of polymer resin adding depth and acrylic patches offering contrasting realism. The series enchants viewers with its otherworldly essence and intricate material dynamics.
