Gallery: (English) Reflection

Healing and Community: Physical to Virtual

Artists work in the solitude of the studio and develop hope and inspiration through community. Art weaves threads of connection across otherwise robust boundaries. These connections translate into actions that ripple out into the world as culture, through art that reflects, critiques, and celebrates the complicated world we live in.

In a time of social distancing, art brings us together. We sing across balconies, dance across computer screens, paint and post pictures of the mundane and the extraordinary, the tragic and the comedic. Art connects us when we cannot physically be together, and reminds us of the bonds that make us a community.

This online exhibition Healing and Community unfolds in three galleries: Community, Connection, Reflection, as interpreted by the artists of Washington Heights and Inwood. NoMAA invites you to share your work as an act of connection and community, of inspiration and hope.

«These were made because I’m overwhelmed by the vitality that flowers have, and I’m touched by the beauty which influences lives. The flower seems to only embody the beauty of living moment by moment without an inferiority complex, a sense of guilt and negativity towards oneself which always tells me that I’ll be fine with who I am. Coincidence was made because the overwhelming presence of my underlying nature I’m stimulated anew, and come to plunge my magnificent imagination of my childhood environment into the canvases. My passion for painting always emits with power of nature.»
