Inspired by depression era photographs, film noir and images from her sweetly twisted subconscious, artist Nina Friday paints an ambiance whose time and place is left to the viewers digression.This world is filled with large eyed vixens, dime store hustlers and street children with sinister smiles sheltered in a ominous sepia toned veil. These wolves in sheep clothing are painted with an elegant faade, everyday folks aspiring look their best ,but what are they suppressing ? a secret or just a hardened soul. Peeping at her nostalgic entities one gets the sense that these are people that you shouldnt turn your back on and you sure dont want to bump into any of them in a darkened alley, unless your looking for a good time.As a medium Nina uses acrylic paint on wood panels which is then distressed and finally mounted in a hand painted found frame to compliment each piece.
Nina Friday is a self taught artist from St. Petersburg, Russia whose works can be found in galleries across the country including the Alcove Gallery in Atlanta, Saints and Sinners in Baltimore, River's Edge in Michigan and Delilah's in Chicago.
