Omola Studio Brings Art To The Blake
Autumn Nelson’s canvas is the first piece in “The Past Pushes Forward” — an art show installed in the top floor of the Blake Hotel at 9 High St., now until August 31 — to greet viewers as they exit the elevator. It’s hung in just the right spot so that the canvas functions as a double of the subject matter. The mirror that reflects the painter is held up to the viewer as well. Do we love ourselves as much as Nelson loves herself? How much are we allowed to love ourselves? Why is it fraught to even ask that question?

Tyger Tyger Gallery (Asheville, NC) is pleased to present:
SOLOGAMY, a solo exhibition of figurative works by Autumn Nelson. Exhibition dates: March 3rd-April 16th, 2023
The two largest works in the show suggest separate possible paths for the subject. In one, she is doubled, on a luxurious date with herself; in the other painting, she is with the antagonist

“My experience with this quarantine so far has been constantly surrounding the TV with family. Constantly hoping for a positive massage, unfortunately few of them are. I find myself having to comfort myself. This being the reason why I choose to have myself -play both roles. Creating this looking glass to this intimate conversation with oneself. That I feel becomes this universal experience for humanity now. “

“Sologamy”: An Art Exhibition by Autumn Nelson
“2022 has taught me that art truly knows no boundaries. I know we’ve all heard this saying before, but I suppose it’s one of those cliché statements that doesn’t make sense until you experience it. Any event, thought or desire can quite literally give birth to creativity, and I think this reality struck me on Friday at 23-year-old Autumn Nelson’s solo exhibition, “Sologamy.”

“Autumn is a visual artist who mixes her own experiences of adolescence in the black community. As a black woman she is aware to the over sexualization that black and brown people in the media. Her work deals with untangling herself from the sexual narrative and taking charge of it.”

Autumn Nelson is a painting B.F.A, class of 2021.“I use symbols and language as vehicles for my message. In this series, I work with concepts of the father: breaking down the concept of “father issues” and how it plays into sexuality. I look into the Black and brown home dynamic and into pop culture itself where there are extensive records of men preying on Black and brown women without public consequences. — Autumn Nelson is a painting B.F.A, class of 2021.
