I’m happy to post that I am back from a residency at SOON Art Studio Kunst und Kultur in beautiful Vienna. I researched the works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele for inspiration for my upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery NAGA (Nov 2025), and exhibited a group of oil paintings at SOON Kunstgallerie.

My work is centered on examining the idea of nature as a feminized entity, and my research was focused on Klimt’s stylistic approach to multi-figure compositions. I am exploring solo and group compositions with male and female figures to articulate a vision of balance and harmony in humanity’s relationship with nature. I am looking forward to sharing my work with you this November! Love, Dinora

I’m very excited to have been granted an opportunity to spend six weeks researching rare botanical books in the library of Oak Springs. The residency starts in October and ends in mid-November. I’ll be sharing images and stories via Instagram, at @dinorajustice. Be sure to tune in and say hello!

Solo Exhibition of paintings by Dinora Justice

Gallery NAGA

67 Newbury Street Boston

Reception

Friday, March 1

6 – 8 pm

http://www.gallerynaga.com

Dinora Justice is one of five featured artists in this momentous exhibition of “contemporary art that examines the use of “fantastical” aesthetics – conceived here as extravagant, ornamental, or, in certain instances, surreal – to address multidimensional political themes.”

“Fantastical, Political presents works by five contemporary New England artists: Dave Cole, Cynthia Consentino, Mohamad Hafez, Dinorá Justice, and Joo Lee Kang. Their absurd and extravagant integration of decorative techniques—marbling, blue-and-white ceramic traditions, and architectural ornament, among others—will inspire you to look past decorative appeal to uncover political content. In this exhibition, the “fantastical” is leveraged as political commentary, stretching far beyond themes related to governmental affairs.”

Curated by Lisa Crossman.

On view from February 11th through June 3, 2018.

Opening Reception: Sunday, February 11th from 1-3PM

Fantastical, Political has been supported by a grant from the Artist’s Resource Trust.

FAM is located at 25 Merriam Parkway, Fitchburg MA 01420.
