This month SAM Gallery highlights one Northwest artist with a new body of work. Nina Tichava, who exhibits her paintings nationally, developed this new series exclusively for SAM Gallery.
The tape paintings are constrained and straightfoward, yet have deep, subtle detail and endless variation. By limiting herself to only two components (painted tape and ink) the more pure elements of painting take center stage - color, form and composition.
Nina Tichava is a nationally represented artist. She is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award Grant and has garnered space on the walls of the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, NM. Tichava received her BFA from California College of the Arts [+ Crafts] in San Francisco. She lives and works in Seattle.
