ABOUT THE WORK

          A highly regarded modernist, Justin ‘Tiny’ Nuyda has crafted a brilliant, lyrically surreal brand of art. From his ethereal abstract compositions, to the magical landscapes borne from his ‘Mindscape’ series, Nuyda has elegantly put on display his complex predilections.  Technically adept, he is able to intelligibly translate his stylized subject visually with ease — an excellent display of his deft hand. This 1974 work harks back to Nuyda’s earlier experimentations with abstraction.  Inviting and  alluring, this very piece captures the rhythmic nature of the artist’s oeuvre coupled with solid  geometric figures — vigorous and brimming with life.
