Nemtzow’s current work is a departure from the urban landscapes for which she is best known. Separated from the outside world by the coronavirus pandemic, Nemtzow turned inward to create compositions from imagination. Here we see suggestions of worlds other than our own, where shapes and lines give way to odd unnamed structures and creatures, connected to each other by an assortment of pathways. A sense of landscape remains, but what place is this?

The show includes 3-dimensional wall constructions and energetically shaped 2-dimensional pieces, as well as more conventionally formatted works. Throughout, lively arrangements of abstract shapes underlie graphic elements which connect and elaborate upon those shapes. A sense of celebration and gentle humor pervade much of the work, although at moments one might also catch a whiff of impending catastrophe.
