Nabil Nahas Presents Psychedelic Paint-Wafer Assemblages at The Armory Show 2016

Nabil Nahas exhibited his distinctive paintings at The Armory Show in 2016, specifically in booth 613. His work features intricate assemblages of individually colored paint-wafers that create textured surfaces resembling coral reefs or fungi. These compositions balance between luxurious and threatening visual experiences, evoking both earthy and ethereal associations. The exhibition was available for viewing through Sunday during Armory Week. Nahas's tableaux explore literal and metaphorical boundaries through hybrid emotional locations. His technique allows the pieces to be interpreted either as accumulations of impasto or as reliefs carved from paint. The show presented a carpet of color that felt simultaneously terrestrial and marine. Viewers encountered works that blended sickly and redemptive qualities in their aesthetic impact.
