로버트 나바(Robert Nava) | 나쁜 회화(bad painting)를 자처하는 이유

In order to build his own style, Robert Nava (b. 1985) stripped away the discipline and conventional frameworks he learned during his MFA program at Yale University. This approach aligns with the definition of "bad painting," coined in 1978 by Martha Tucker, the founding curator of the New Museum in Manhattan, New York. Nava's paintings offer a moment of reprieve from the cynical, dystopian mood that pervades our time today, but they don't simply relegate themselves to escapism. Vibrant and energetically composed with materials such as spray paint, acrylic, and oil pencil, his paintings exude a playful honesty that rebels against the vanity of high art and offers viewers the opportunity to reflect on the loss of innocence and its recovery. He wants to imply that the act of drawing is like tracing a form that lurks beneath the surface, and that form is revealed in abstraction. 👁 epoquehannam | Contemporary Art Press Media in SEOUL Follow us on Instagram:   / epoquehannam   #RobertNava #현대미술 #예술가 #epoquehannam #전시해설 #예술의이해 #예술가인터뷰
