Exhibition by Minneapolis painter Marty Nash inspired by the colours of weather maps and ultrasound monitors, exploring how perception shifts with the viewer's perspective.
Marty Nash has a solo show running at Form + Content Gallery through Saturday, October 24. It's called Doppler Effect, and it's been on view since September 17, so you've got a few more days to catch it if you haven't yet.
Nash took the title from two very different things: the deep reds and bright oranges of weather maps, and the colors and shapes that move across an ultrasound monitor. From there, she uses it as a metaphor for perception. The work's sense shifts with your perspective as you approach it, much like sound waves, and the meaning changes based on how you look—whether you're glancing quickly and up close or taking your time from a distance. It's the kind of show that rewards you for slowing down and seeing how the pieces change as you move around the room.
Nash is a long-time part of the local scene. She earned her MFA in painting from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and her BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Minnesota. She was a founding member of WARM Gallery (Women's Art Registry of Minnesota) and is currently a member of Form + Content. Her work has been shown in one-person and group exhibitions at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery, the Katherine E. Nash Gallery, Groveland Gallery, Intermedia Arts, and the Harry M. Drake Gallery, and it's held in public and private collections.
