ARTIST STATEMENT
I grew up on the threshold of the Information Age, straddling the divide between analogue and digital worlds. As a member of contemporary, post-pandemic culture, I watch as we move collectively into increasingly virtual and screen-focused existences. Yet, I continue artmaking with traditional media in an era when my extremely detailed and labor-intensive artwork might easily be made in Photoshop with a single keyboard click. Especially in digital image, a viewer might assume my work to be computer-generated whereas in person, the physical artworks are undeniably handmade. The idiosyncratic, human qualities of objects made by hand with physical media convey the poignancy—and impossibility—of trying to achieve machine-like perfection with inherently imperfect tools.
My main focus is painting, but I have recently begun pursuing printmaking as a compliment to my studio practice of 20 years. With all of my artwork, I develop my compositions organically, using the framework of a specific formal vocabulary: botanical and architectural references, lights, geological strata, and patterning. These references inform the overlapping layers of organic shapes that define this body of monotypes.
Compositional dualities—light/dark, hard/soft, fast/ slow, dense /open—are an important element in the monotypes. Within those juxtapositions, I densely layer organic forms, incorporating shadow drawings, hand drawn lines, stencils, and physical objects such as plants and weeds. My working process is a continuous, dynamic act of engagement until each monotype achieves a sense of flow and balance. Simultaneously improvisational and structured, these works become records of duration and experience.
BIOGRAPHY
Nina Tichava was raised in both rural northern New Mexico and the Bay Area in California. She was influenced by her father, a construction worker and mathematician and by her mother, who was an artist and designer. The reflections of these dualities—country to city, pragmatist to artist, nature to technology—are essential to and evident in her paintings. Nina is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award Grant in 2007 and has exhibited nationally since 2008. She received her BFA from California College of the Arts [+ Crafts] in San Francisco/Oakland.
