In The Backspace /

Mirage

Nicholas Nyland

February 2 – February 26, 2006
Reception / Thursday, February 2, 6–8pm

For his abstract wall painting, Nicholas Nyland employs traditional perspective techniques more common to representational imagery. Mirage’s optical illusion is dependent upon the viewer’s position to the work. Created specifically for SOIL’s backspace gallery, the rear wall of the gallery is effectively dissolved by planes of color that appear to recede into space.
