Whats Going On.jpg

By Nancy Polo

print based on watercolor on paper, 2021 by Nancy Polo. The title piece for a show is a phenomenon that lives in the artist's brain and heart. It's a piece where complex lived and imagined experiences coalesce into one composition. In 2017 Women Who Work? came before all of the other 34 paintings that filled the gallery for my first solo show. It was a witching stick I used to test all other paintings. This painting of a baby in a sling, made mere weeks before the show What's Going On? is different. This face embodies how I have felt since March, 2020-- a helpless child, protected in many ways, knowing that strange, scary things are afoot that may or may not drastically change my future. Come see What's Going On?, at the Barns of Rosehill in Berryville, VA. It will be up September 1-30, 2021. Artist opening 9-12-21, Artist talk 9-24-21. https://barnsofrosehill.org/event/meet-the-artist-nancy-polo-whats-going-on/ #artshow #art #artwork #artist #contemporaryart #arts #painting
