FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Osmosis” by Soraya Abu Naba’a at Gary Nader fine art
October 10th to November 15th, 2009
Gary Nader cordially invites you to join us as we Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to the opening of the exhibition “Osmosis” recent works from young Dominican-American artist Soraya Abu Naba’a. The opening reception will take place at Gary Nader fine art located at 62 NE 27th Street, Miami, Florida on Saturday, October 10th, 2009 from 7.00 to 10 PM (Wynwood Art District Gallery Walk)
This is Soraya Abu Naba’a first solo show in the United States. Graduated with a bachelor degree in Fine Arts from the Paris American Academy, this exhibition represents Soraya’s artistic-aesthetical approach and reaction to her academic education, translated into paintings and drawings, through an absolute freedom of expression, and a unique and innovative perception of her surroundings.
The title of the show itself “Osmosis” operated as a reference to a very particular phenomenon linked to biological systems, water, cell membranes, pressure, equilibrium, movements, and energy. All these elements translated to the paintings and drawings create some sort of imaginative micro- cosmogony where minuscule creatures tell us chronicles about life and the relationship among the different artistic, scientific and technological disciplines.
The abstract world that Soraya’s work portrays exists beyond our own perception, observable only by the human eyes through the lenses of microscopic mechanics. Her artistic perspective and sensitivity allows us to immerse ourselves into a state of mind retreatment, a contemplation and discovery of concepts and vital forces, a path of stability and actions, an ever-changing backdrop of gravitating spread lines, brushstrokes and geometrical forms. Soraya’s artworks are not limited to what they represent; they also bring other ingredients into play: structures, boundaries, spaces, memories, interactivity and virtuality.
The essence of a painting goes further of what it represents; it is defined by the colors and forms, the general structure as an articulated and coherent scheme of figures and thoughts. In some ways, Soraya’s discourse pointed out the rising dependence perhaps even a symbiosis of global technology on science, and the relationship between technology and us. There is an intrinsic intention to communicate conflicting concepts with regards to modern human being identification with technology as an extension of ourselves (Technophilia); and the realization of the need to return to human values (Technophobia), self- sufficiency, and the rejection of technology by recovering human scale arts.
Gary Nader fine art is located at 62 NE 27th Street, Miami FL.
Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM.
