Mike Nudelman: Moving

Moving is a solo exhibition featuring 12 works by artist Mike Nudelman.

  • Mike Nudelman (b. 1985, Smithtown, New York) currently lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He received a BFA in Printmaking from Cornell University and an MFA in Painting & Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Fortnight Institute (New York, NY), 5. Gallery (Santa Fe, NM), and Thomas Robertello Gallery (Chicago, IL), and in group exhibitions at Geoffrey Young Gallery (Great Barrington, MA), SPRING/BREAK Art Show (New York, NY), Good Naked Gallery (New York, NY), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago, IL), Devening Projects + Editions (Chicago, IL), The Valley (Taos, NM), and Smoke the Moon (Santa Fe, NM), among others. He recently editioned two lithographs with the Tamarind Institute (Albuquerque, NM).

  • Working with familiar materials, Nudelman transforms the recognizable into the unexpected. Like the luminous pixels of a digital screen, his intricate ballpoint strokes simultaneously mask and reveal what enigmatic sights lie beyond the paper's surface. For more than a decade, Nudelman’s work has explored the interplay of illusion, time, scale, and mediation, using sublime landscapes as a lens through which to examine the ways we perceive and construct reality. Ultimately, his drawings resist immediate comprehension and invite closer inspection.
