James Nares
To capture weightlessness, movement and emotion in a single, gestural brushstroke required transgender artist James Nares to reimagine her entire art-making process. In addition to suspending herself above the canvas, Nares also created her own calligraphic brushes and paint, practicing meticulous strokes over and over until finally achieving that perfect swipe.
Dubbed an “action painter” and a “scientific painter,” Nares’ process is the result of years of researching, testing and expanding on her style. Nares moved to New York City in 1974 after studying at the Chelsea College of Art. As she is also a musician, Nares fell into the city’s “no wave” scene — a brief avant-garde music and visual art movement concentrated in downtown Manhattan. The experimentation with noise, and dissonance that became popular among no wave artists likely informed Nares’ art style and fueled her passion for creative experimentation throughout the 1980s.
Nares is represented by the Kasmin Gallery, which has exhibited her work since 1991. The artist’s solo exhibitions include 2014’s “High Speed Drawings” and 2013’s “Road Paint Paintings.” The latter featured works that Nares created with thermoplastic paint — the same type of paint that is used on tarmacs and roads. Her work is part of the collections of the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art. The Milwaukee Art Museum staged a retrospective on Nares in 2019.
While primarily known for her artwork, Nares' film projects have been part of solo exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and presented at the 2008 Anthology Film Archives in New York and at the New York IFC Center in 2011.

- Double XBy Richard DiebenkornLocated in Toronto, OntarioRichard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) is a renowned American painter and printmaker. Diebenkorn is celebrated for his work across abstraction and figuration, moving between the two styles over the course of his career. Beginning his career in the mid-1940s, Diebenkorn moved from San Fransisco to Woodstock where he responded to the post-war cultural shift that ushered in abstract expressionism in New York and beyond. Dedicating nearly a decade to abstract expressionism, Diebenkorn gained prominence for his work before abruptly changing course. He began to explore figuration and become part of the first generation of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Completed in 1987, "Double X...Category
