Past Swing Space artist Kymia Nawabi wins Bravo’s “Work of Art”!
Past Swing Space artist, Kymia Nawabi wins Bravo's "Work of Art:The Next Great Artist".
Nawabi’s work is a marvel, upon viewing her works vastly ranging in size and media; she takes the viewer on a grand tour of extreme psychic visions with almost hallucinogenic power. Her illustrations of her delusions are designed to heighten the viewers’ human ness and actuality. By cobbling together an ever-growing vocabulary of psychoanalytic metaphors, visual puns, and classical drawing skills, Kymia reinvents herself with each effort, for the drawings are a strange sort of self-portraiture. With each work she introduces new themes of transformations through deconstructions of normality. From a wall of exquisite sketchbook drawings and works on paper mounted to box-panel frames, to a parade of miniature sculptures, onto a series of grand, out-sized drawings, as well as stop motion animated short films- Kymia Nawabi amazes, entertains and deeply unsettles us as we participate in her visions inspired from her biography.
She will have a solo exhibition of works on paper and sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum from December 22, 2011 - February 5, 2012.
