Line of Sight
A collection of new paintings made during lockdown and beyond 22 Jun - 23 Jul 2021 In this new body of work Nina further explores her experience of the landscape close to her, attempting to look beyond what is normally seen.
During the last year she has spent a lot more time walking and observing the immediate environment and examining and absorbing elements of the landscape that have become important to her – particularly focusing on the shape and contour of the land, the textural layering from land cultivation, the linear forms, the darkness and contrast of the forested valleys, the accents of colour and the changing weather patterns.
This work is a distillation of her personal response to landscape. More recently it is the strong and sometimes somber elements that have become a more central part of her work, which seems to fit the mood of the last year. Read more -
Black Utopia
21 Jun - 1 Jul 2021 “The reasoning behind naming the series Black Utopia, is the perfection of the world I create for each image. My goal as an artist was to put African American people in positions you normally wouldn’t see them in during the respected time period. Beauty, Happiness, Vulnerability, and Freedom are four stand out words to describe the feeling of Black Utopia. I’ve never been a fan of how my people are portrayed publicly, which is why I plan to push the envelope & continue to create for change. This is the world I envision for black people.” -Mike Gray

Although Gray recently began to focus more intently on photography, with the guidance of mentor Tyler Shields, he embarked on an exploration into the creative/artistic realm a decade prior.
Only 12 editions in each size will ever be made. All prints are chromogenic prints on museum quality paper. Read more -
