The Belgo Report welcomes the newest arrival in the building: Galerie Push has moved from its location on St-Laurent Boulevard to the fourth floor of the Belgo. And they are starting off with a bang: tonight is the vernissage of Still River Still Leaving, featuring ink drawings and mixed media paintings by Nadia Moss. Your Belgo Reporter had a quick peek; the new digs look great, and so does Moss’ work: bright, fresh, and spontaneous.

From the gallery press release:
Giving action to her figures, Moss creates ambiguous beings that appear to both rely upon and resent their cult like groups. Etched patterns provide coverage for figures as marks of experience or indications of the passage of time leading ultimately to death, while the scenarios depicted are evocative of  a state of limbo, a “place” conceived of as in between. Active, while confined by the edges of the artist’s page, figures exist within the space allotted to them, seemingly moving about with purpose on the panel or paper in a constant motion that leads nowhere but the same place.
