Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Nina Glikshtern's recent figure drawings.
The artist states:
These are drawings made during and after the peak of NYC’s COVID lockdown. Through a more clued-in artist than myself, I found a network of Zoom-based figure drawing groups hosting get-togethers daily. Most of the groups I draw with are based in New York, often featuring models who work as circus and cabaret performers in normal times. My fellow artists in attendance hail from all over the world, sometimes waking up at the crack of dawn in Australia to attend an afternoon session in New York, or giving us East Coasters a peek at a still setting sun in the West.Figure drawing is something I did primarily while in school and let fall by the wayside after graduating. Usually, it requires attending an event in person. Unlike so many other things we’ve lost out on during the pandemic, web-based socializing has made it more accessible than ever. These drawings are the product of my own personal tiny silver lining to this strange and scary moment.
Nina Glikshtern's drawings are on view through October 23 at the Adjacent to Life gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
