Nancy Graves: ‘Archaea’ is in full swing!

Juxtaposing the artist’s black-ground oil paintings and cast-bronze sculptures, ‘Archaea’ emphasizes Graves’ body of work from the 1980s. The exhibition title refers to the Greek word for “ancient,” “olden,” or “from the beginning,” as well as the Archaea domain of organisms found in all life forms. Through this dual meaning, the exhibition unearths Graves’ varied influences, from biological microbiota to Nefertiti busts, and reflects the composite nature of these works.

Stop by the gallery to explore this dynamic presentation running until March 28!
