Air Gallery is pleased to announce Lines of Light, a collection of recent work by artist Nancy Lasar.
Lines of Light represents a varied body of paintings and prints including acrylic on canvas, woodcut, traceQmonotype with chine colle and iconic figure composites in “unique” prints. These works were completed concurrently over the past year and follow the installation of a 40 year retrospective of Lasar’s work entitled Nancy Lasar: A Survey 1972-2012 at the New Arts Gallery in CT. A bound catalog of that exhibition will be available at AIR Gallery during the Lines of Light exhibition.

John Davis writes in the introduction to his brochure for The Lines of Light, “Each of Lasar’s pieces is a portal to that which lays unforeseen. Each morphing image and wild line promise something more than initially meets the eye. Indeed, each work rewards closer scrutiny with new realizations and deeper insights into the world at-large. Lasar is challenging and enticing viewers to move beyond present realities – to see 'anew' and with greater understanding all that surrounds them. Each image is an invitation to enter these new realms.
"This latest collection of Lasar’s works demonstrates an evolution, a transmutation, a metamorphosis of style, but not of message. Her art compels us to take a second look, to gaze more intently at the world we inhabit... Her varied works make manifest the depth and richness of her own musings.” Lasar herself states, “We are tuning forks of emotion as we react to the world around us, vibrating at frequencies beyond logic, struggling to reflect, adjust and move forward in an increasingly complex world.”

A native of New England, Lasar has been a New York artist member of AIR Gallery since 2010. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout New England and New York and is included in the collections of Aetna Life and Casualty, the Pfizer Corp, The General Mills Corp, The Mattatuck Museum, the Center for Contemporary Printmaking and The Rutgers Print Archive.

Nancy Lasar is the recipient of two “Individual Artist Fellowships” from the Ct. Commission on the Arts and received a grant to study at the Vermont Studio Center in 1998. Her prints have been published and exhibited by Van Deb Editions and also selected for exhibition by the International Print Center New York in 2010, 2006 and 2005. Nancy Lasar is represented by Amy Simon Fine Art in Westport, CT as well as by AIR Gallery, Brooklyn.
