Vielmetter Los Angeles is thrilled to present our second exhibition with New York-based artist Nash Glynn, "Interiors", opening in Gallery II on September 17, 2022.
About
"After the art handlers removed from her Lower Manhattan loft the ten new works which comprise this exhibit, Interiors, the painter Nash Glynn finally, as she had been meaning to do for weeks, phoned her accountant to ask an important tax-related question. Why, Glynn wanted to know, wasn’t the square footage of her bedroom factored—along with that of her studio—into the equation determining how much of her rent is tax-deductible? Why wasn’t a mattress considered a business expense? At the end of the day, dreaming is her business, she said. Glynn’s accountant laughed like he’d heard a joke. So she fired him.
This, you should know, is the kind of artist with whom you are dealing, the true kind whose romanticism is total. If you believe that art objects contain traces of the artist’s air, then you may also care to know that Glynn always seems to be barefoot, that she listens to Julius Eastman’s Femenine on a loop while she paints, that her mien is sweet, blithe, diaphanous, that in three years of friendship I have never once seen her in a hurry. Reverie, not just one of her moods, becomes modal in her work. Figurative painting tends to look new when it evokes something missing from contemporary life—like presence, of which Glynn’s work is full.
Interiors, with its plural title, belies the singularity of Glynn’s point of view. Lately, she sticks to painting what she sees from the swivel stool she’s positioned between window and easel, things like: apples in a bowl, closed door, knife. Herself in a mirror, or her mind’s eye. Mostly windows. Yet this self-imposed agreement comes with a proviso to also see with her eyes closed, so as to produce landscapes that look mental.
