a'driane nieves
Visual Arts Lecture Series (VALS)—Fall 2024
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | a’driane nieves is a self-taught painter and writer who was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1982. She, at the urging of her therapist, began painting as a form of art therapy in 2011, during her recovery from postpartum depression and following her later diagnosis of bipolar disorder. While nieves often completes a painting in one sitting, she draws heavily on memories, emotions, and experiences from both the past and present, as she simultaneously focuses on the interior landscapes of the Self. For her upcoming solo exhibition, ‘let’s dance our way back home’, at the Consortium Museum (Dijon, France), nieves is producing her largest paintings yet, along the stretch of her driveway in Philadelphia. According to nieves: “The text I came up with for the neon painting, ‘let’s dance our way back home’, is inspired by writer Alice Walker’s book of poems, Hard Times Require Furious Dancing”. These paintings will illuminate the space of the roughly ten-meter cube at the Consortium Museum, Dijon from October, 2024 to March, 2025.
