Charlie NevadÑLight & Dark is the first exhibition in a series of three focusing on various interpretations of Light & DarkÑnaturalism, poetic allusion and hope. The exhibition Charlie NevadÑLight & Dark initiates the series with a 30-year survey of the mid-20th Century Modernist paintings of Charlie Nevad (Perth Amboy, NJ 1921-1990). Charlie NevadÑLight & Dark is both the first retrospective of the artistÕs work and the first solo exhibition of his paintings in Massachusetts. Light & Dark provides an overview of the last three decades of NevadÕs artistic production and examines his symbolism and the transformation of his painting techniqueÑfrom his Impressionist-inspired brushwork to his experimentations with Abstract Expressionism, collage and primitivism.
