Nina Bovasso was born in New York City. Her colourful works on paper and paintings echo an urban cacophony where patterning and regiment have run amok. Inspired by, textiles, Utopian idealism and a 1960's pop sensibility, the obviousness towards the hand made emphasises human touch and the tactile world. In her large scale works on paper there is an overlying pop sensibility, a strategy of accretion using the most basic of marks, a dot and a line, proliferate into a variety of colour, size, shape and surface texture. Here, design and pattern defy regiment and linear logic. With all this artist's activity a sense of unrest is generated, giving a sinister aspect to this hype.
