Nicola López at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art

Nicola López’s solo exhibition at CMCA, January 29 – May 8, 2022, features a monumental mixed media installation accompanied by three related bodies of work that collectively reference three timeframes – past, present and future – as reflected through the lens of climate change and the built world. López’s works in the exhibition exist somewhere between hopes and apprehensions, depicting human-built structures that are strange, beautiful, ominous, and even impossible. The artist’s installation work, Barren Lands Breed Strange Visions, is composed of woodcut, monotype and silkscreen on mylar and measures 10 feet high x 29 feet long.
