Night Gallery is pleased to present Robert Nava "Vs" and Jasmine Little's "Retrograde," which will be on view at Night Gallery from Saturday, July 20, through Saturday, August 24, 2019. Nava is known for paintings of fantastical creatures in acrylic, oil stick, and graphite pencil in blunt, kinetic lines, overlaid with spray paint. These creatures merge mythological characters that have persisted over millennia (gryphons, dragons, witches, among others) with impulsive contemporary flourishes (airplanes, buses, electric currents, flamethrowers). Little's exhibition will be composed of large, cylindrical stoneware vessels with figurative iconography carved into their exterior surfaces. The numerous and varied influences in Little’s work span the entirety of the human experience. Flemish and Renaissance painting, medieval illuminated manuscripts, Safavid period carpets, Greek black-figure and red-figure pottery, and Japanese woodblock prints, are among the sources referenced in her work. This is both artists' first solo exhibition at the gallery.
