Nina Childress Exhibit: Glowing Heads

A living embodiment of American-French cultural exchange, the artist Nina Childress—born in the US, working in France, and recently inducted into the Académie des Beaux-Arts—takes over L’Alliance New York’s public spaces with Glowing Heads, phosphorescent paintings presented in dark and Ultraviolet light.

Combining a fluorescent pop sensibility with a gritty, punk-feminist reading of female representation in Western art history, Childress’ works illuminate L’Alliance New York’s lobby and gallery spaces, offering audiences an unprecedented view of the artist’s sly engagement with portraiture.
