Nina Chanel Abney @ Pace Prints - 9/28/2022

Pace Prints is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of large-scale prints and collages by American painter Nina Chanel Abney. Framily Ties — You Win Some, You Lose Some represents a progression of Nina Chanel Abney’s approach to printmaking, both in scale and complexity, and the emergence of its role as one of her primary creative outlets. Far from taking a duplicative approach to the printing process, Abney embraces its potential for multiplicity and variation, which she uses as a channel to compose original images. Three of the bodies of work to be exhibited were created at Pace Prints for a contemporary homage to Matisse, Matisse Alive, at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, where they filled five walls of the museum during the run of the exhibition, from October 2021 to April 2022. Additional works were created specifically for Pace Prints’ new gallery, making use of the expanded space to create ever more ambitious and genre-defying printed works, including a wall-spanning seven-foot-high diptych.
