ROBERT NAVA & VITO SCHNABEL
in conversation
Saturday | June 17, 23 | 2 p.m.
Duration approx. 30 minutes
On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Robert Nava: Mirror Quest, we are pleased to invite you to a special guided tour with the artist and gallerist Vito Schnabel on 17 June 23, at 2 pm.
The show by American artist Robert Nava features a group of new paintings completed this year and installed in the main entrance of Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg. Known for a vibrant and mischievous approach to figuration that is deceptively spontaneous and strategically child-like in appearance, Nava’s distinctive visual language of metamorphic creatures pulsating in electric colors evokes a fantastical world replete with new myths, monsters, and heroes.
These new paintings are both mirrors and portals. Traversing the knife-edge between gestural abstraction and figurative imagery, the artist’s compositions transport the viewer into spaces of fantasy, populated by a cast of specters that take the form of creatures, landscapes, and objects at once mythic and every day.
