First edition, first impression of Elemental Forms by Nadezda Nikolova in new condition. Contains a signed print. About Using light, wet plate collodion chemistry, paper cut-outs, cliché verre, and brushes, Nadezda Nikolova creates camera-less compositions in the darkroom through multiple exposures that allude to landscapes, light and atmospheric phenomena, and organic forms found in nature. Nikolova’s art straddles the line between representation and abstraction; the pared-down visual vocabulary arises from the immediacy of the photogram, placing it in conversation with painting, collage, graphic arts, and sculpture. The compositions range in mood from contemplative stillness to dynamism and movement, employing shape, artifact, gesture, and tonal range to explore balance and rhythm. Show more
