Felicity Nove’s Art Exhibit At LAAA/Gallery

HOLLYWOOD—Heredity Pour is the name of artist Felicity Nove’s first show at LAAA/Gallery in Los Angeles. Drawing on her heritage as an environmentalist and artist, Australian painter Felicity Nove will present a solo show at the gallery on Saturday, February 13.

“My family is deeply involved in the sustainable energy movement in Australia,” Nove tells Canyon News. “The question that I’m posing with these paintings is how to live consciously within our environment, especially as we are continually bombarded with stimuli. These new fluid paintings spill over, disrupt and collide in much the same way as our contemporary life experience.”

Influenced by her environmental heritage and a passionate interest in the history of mark-making, Nove’s paintings explore the interconnected relationships in nature and, conversely, the underlying disturbances. Through a process of layering and dripping paint, she explores a progression of immersion and disruption in this current series.

Nove’s work was published in the 2009 LA Emerging Artists catalogue, edited by Sammy Hoi, president of Otis College of Art and Design; recent shows include a group show at the Riverside Art Museum curated by Peter Frank as well as group shows at 643 A Project Space, Paintings Edge Exhibition, Project 210 and Parks Exhibition Center, Idyllwild. Her paintings were commissioned for TNT’s “Leverage” and Fox’s “Better off Ted.”

“Felicity Nove’s lyrical, even liquid abstractions describe ambiguous but luminous spaces that conflate land and water, flora and fauna, earth and sky. They are kind to the eyes, but reward them as well with the substance of Nove’s subtle imagination,” said Peter Frank, critic and curator. While friend Tanna Frederick, the star of “Irene in Time” and the upcoming “Queen of the Lot” says, “Her work is so incredibly childlike, innocent, fresh and inspiring.” For art lovers, this is a show to attend.
