ADRIAN NIVOLA tackles a variety of themes in his imagery, working from memory and driven by an effort to convey an enduring quality of light in ephemeral scenes. Among his subjects are women in interiors, landscapes of Idaho and the East End of Long Island, and jockeys after a race. A simultaneous engagement in multiple mediums and techniques suits Nivola who grew up under the influence of his artist grandparents. The Sardinian-born sculptor Costantino Nivola was celebrated for his large-scale sandcast murals and his grandmother Ruth Guggenheim Nivola created jewelry from silk and metal thread. Through the legacy of his grandparents, Nivola inherited a formative philosophy of life in art. He earned a master’s degree at the New York Studio School in 2008 after graduating with a BFA with distinction in painting at Yale.
