Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York, is hosting an exhibition of the works of artist Rita Lundqvist, on view through February 4, 2017.The exhibition presents Swedish painter Rita Lundqvist (b. 1953) for her third solo with the gallery, featuring her new paintings. These small-scale and minimalist paintings hold together a series of discreet yet interconnected moments. The figures in these paintings, set in a backdrop of opaque washes of mossy greens, indigos, muted grays, or pale glowing yellows and often a stark horizon line, are adorned with meticulously assembled outfit and subtle facial and gestural expressions, implying a variety of personalities and myriad internal nuances, inhabiting in a world with subdued meditative hues and pure economic geometry. Together these works might suggest the presence of one overarching story with each painting as an episode, providing little hints and clues, tempting its viewers to draw their own narratives.The exhibition is on view at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, 521 West 21st Street #1, New York, NY 10011, USA.
