Elegy

Senegalese-born, German-based artist Nadia Safieddine is known equally for her paintings and sculpture (she's also a pianist!), though in her oeuvre the distinction between the two media is somewhat blurred. In her paintings, a range of which are on display as part of this new exhibition, the thick, viscous paint acquires spatial properties, reaching out from the canvas and drawing us into her saturnine compositions. One to watch.
