About the Item

This piece titled "Invasive Species I" is an original artwork made from mixed media on canvas by NDA. This piece measures 19”h x 24”w. "Invasive Species I" debuted during Paradigm Gallery's thirteenth anniversary exhibition, "Lucky 13", which featured works that use the themes are luck, tradition, and superstition. The plants featured in these pieces are considered by some to be meaningful and aesthetically pleasing and to others, they are obnoxious weeds. When I see them popping up it is often a matter of chance and personal preference in how they are regarded and whether or not they survive. Context can be the difference between good and bad luck. NDA is a public and gallery artist based out of Philadelphia. Although his background is in printmaking and illustration, he is now mostly recognized for his focus on murals and large-scale public work. By combining surrealism, comic humor and real life observations, NDA seeks to shine light on the human condition while at the same time making his audience laugh. His bright and expressive work can be seen around the world from Mexico to Norway. Recent projects have brought him to the Lower East Side for a pop up show in an abandoned market as well as the Newark Museum and a mural with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. NDA has also exhibited his work in cities along the east coast such as New York, Philadelphia, Newark and Miami. He has been an artist in residence at Staufferstadt in Strasburg, VA and the Sunnhordland Folkehogskule Teaching Residency in Norway. Additionally, he has been featured in the New York Times, Ginko Press and Esquire.
