ABOUT THE WORK

Justin Nuyda’s abstractions tremble on the brink of reality, from surreal to real, tempestuous to serene, and arid to beautiful. A reflection of a dream-like atmosphere distinctly marked by bold and broad brush strokes, this piece seems to be moving and fanning out evocative colors of blue and brown. It forms an ambivalent figure of the clouds, a lake, and its shore, and the other spaces in between, giving a thunderous silence yet vibrantly calm picturesque image. Icy and rigid, the shape still maintains a natural flow. Nuyda paints an imagery that is both familiar and obscure, as if projections from a dream that has now passed but continues to linger behind one’s mind.
