Nadine Saitlin

Nadine is a fine artist: painter and sculptor, using concepts of abstraction, cubism, and surrealism. Her goal is to create seductive surfaces and provocative forms that involve the viewer. She creates unique images and narratives from her imagination. As she states, “I want my vision to be fresh and direct, as one sees in a child’s artwork. I use primary and contrasting colors, moving lines, and overlapping shapes producing dynamic patterns and intricate designs with acrylics on flat, and third dimensional surfaces.” Experimenting with different materials has allowed her to expand artistic boundaries. She redefined the use of the plant gourd as a third dimensional canvas where the owner can choose the composition. A Chicagoan, Nadine now resides in Boca Raton FL. Exhibiting throughout Florida and nationally and in many private collections. Teaching, designing educational materials, and directing advocacy programs has shaped the direction of her art.

Title: The Beach 72
Caption: The Beach, 36x48”x2, Acrylic on paper mounted on canvas
Description: Sunshine produces a mirage of images in the yellow and blue colors that appear above and below the horizon. The figure above the horizon adds a carefree element of abandonment playing outside.
Title: Pisces on La Table 72
Caption: Pisces on the Table, 22x30”, Acrylic on paper
Description: Elongated curved arms incircle objects on a table. The use of cubism, i.e., Seeing several views at the same time, communicates the jumble of activity. Pattern is an important compositional element in creating focus of a mealtime adventure.
Title: Red Rover, Red Rover. 72jpg
Caption: Red Rover, 22x30’, Acrylic on paper
Description: Symbolically, the two abstract forms represent the push and pull of opposing forces. The use of contrasting color, variation of the two shapes, and spatial divide sets up the narrative: the inability to converse.
Title: Two Story with Sky Light 72
Caption: Two Story House (with Skylight), 26x40”, Acrylic paint on paper
Description: Growing up, living in an apartment, I was enamored with houses that had an upstairs. In this work I imaged what a house would like if you took off the outside wall and saw the inside of the home. The images are what one could see at each level, all the way to the sky light.
Title: Improvisation Jive 72
Caption: Improvisation Jive, Acrylic paint on paper, 22”x3
Description: Energetic and dynamic this work was created with hard-edged, overlapping shapes, intense colors, and a strong directional composition. An explosive environment captures the excitement of a contemporary city landscape.
Title: Improv B 72
Caption: Improv B, 36”x40”x2”, Acrylic paint on canvas
Description: A joyous painting engages the viewer with images reminiscent of the city, an explosive night sky, influenced by the unpredictability often heard in jazz music. This work was executed during the pandemic as an antidote to the many negative feelings experienced.
Title: Dancing Clouds 72
Caption: Dancing Clouds, Acrylic paint on Gourd, 22x12x12”,
Description: A strong bold design. Warm and cool colors are painted on a light beige background creating patterns that move and interact on the surface. Imaginative cloud like shapes cut through and dance on top of bands of color create surprising relationships. My process when creating a one-of-a- kind piece starts by sketching in pencil and rendering images with acrylic paint on the canvas/gourd. As the piece is rotated there are various images so the owner can choose the composition to be displayed.
Title: Face It 72
Caption: Face It, Acrylic paint on Gourd, 11x6x6”
Description: Abstract faces and masks surround this vessel painting. Different expressions confront the viewer and meld into one another as they flow around the form. Bright contrasting colors are accentuated by black curved shapes and lines. As the piece is rotated there are various images so the owner can choose the composition to be displayed.
Title: Improv A 72
Caption: Improv A, Acrylic paint on Gourd, 11x6x6”,
Description: An explosion of asymmetrical stars, bands of patterns, and geometric shapes in vivacious colors interact and collide on this painted gourd vessel. The abstractions were inspired by jazz music and glittering city lights. As the piece is rotated there are various images so the owner can choose the composition to be displayed.
