LIVE Discussion with Christina Nicodema and Nancy Littlejohn
April 30 - April 30,2020
Follow Christina on Instagram at @christinanicodema and NLFA at @nancylittlejohnfineart, and be part of the conversation! Christina Nicodema lives and works in Long Island City, New York, having graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2009. Prior to becoming a painter, she worked for nearly a decade as a set designer and art director for animated films and television and is an undefeated amateur boxer. All of these influences are highly present in both her subject matter and working process. Her paintings explore the schisms of the food chain that all life participates in. They challenge the impossibility of reconciling the opposing notions of violence and empathy by detailing the endless cycle of dominance and submission present throughout all species and cultures. Exploiting the millennial lens and the language of a digitally native generation, Nicodema uses the history of painting as both a transcript of western civilization and an index of the gentrification of horror, addiction and anxiety.
