Piece description from the artist
Every experience has the potential to be fodder for art. Taking a ride on the large Ferris wheel in the Tuileries Garden in Paris is no exception. The structure reminds me of Joseph Stella’s painting of the Brooklyn Bridge, which I often admired while working at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Historical Parisian buildings line the street as the sun sets.
Nicole Maynard is an artist working across media: painting, drawing, digital, and games. She received an MFA in Painting with a minor in Printmaking from the University of Pennsylvania and is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and Miami. Maynard’s paintings exist at the edge of abstraction and representation, using landscape and imagery such as houses and moving boxes to suggest environments in transition. Her compositions balance structure and spatial illusions, reflecting themes of permanence and impermanence, displacement, and belonging. Architectural ambiguity is conveyed through shifting forms, which play a central role in her process.
