ABOUT THE WORK

A renowned modernist, Justin Nuyda created a unique and surreal brand of art. From his ethereal abstract compositions to his magical landscapes, the visual artist was able to elegantly display his complex predilections due to his mastery over his craft. This 1978 piece harkens back to the earlier experimentations with the abstraction of Nuyda. A reflection of a dream-like atmosphere distinctly marked by bold and broad brush strokes, this painting brings forth awareness to his creative attempt to photograph a picture of sight as well as capture the sound within the peripherals of the mind of what it tries to find — not lost, but simply searching. Although the canvases of Nuyda are populated with a well-curated array of hues that seem to glow under the luminosity of an inviting yet unnerving radiance, his inspirations were clearly drawn from the beauty of nature. Inviting and alluring, this piece highlights the rhythmic nature of the artist’s oeuvre as one that is vigorous and brimming with life. (P.I.R.)
