Nadia Ayari: Eyelash in the Unknown

Nadia Ayari, Cross I, 2022.

Nov 28, 2022 – Jan 7, 2023
6315 NW 2nd Ave Miami, Florida 33150

For the Tunisian-born artist Nadia Ayari, completing a painting is not simple. The process can take up to two months and involves a labor intensive layering of thick oil paint that results in a uniquely textured canvas. Ayari has lived in Brooklyn since 2007 but often paints colorful flora from her homeland—stylized flowers, curving branches—with a symmetry that looks sci-fi. This show, which takes its name from a line of poetry by Daniel Feinberg, presents recent paintings alongside a series of luminous cast-glass sculptures, never before exhibited. —Elena Clavarino
