An emerging artist who is based in the Bronx, Bianca Nemelc’s work, literally just completed for the exhibition, takes us to the edge of the future for women artists. A figurative painter concerned with female identity, she pays homage to her heritage through the many hues of browns that make up the bodies of her subjects. Warm Reflections presents the torsos and breasts of two female figures in a natural, tropical setting. According to Nemelc, “The women usually reflect some experience that I had, they are also a great way to reflect on the things that are going on in my life. Mostly, they reflect bodily agency. Agency being a woman, growing into a woman, taking control and experiencing different things in life.”
