Nicole Wittenberg creates life-like paintings and drawings that evoke an immersive, singular moment. Whether employing dry pastel or oil paint, the artist achieves an intense luminosity in her compositions; her canvases glow as though they are charged with the scene’s light, and her drawings’ colors seem to emanate their hues from some internal energy source. Whether rendering landscapes or aroused male figures from amateur porn, Wittenberg’s practice has always aligned with a sensual take on life.
