Duane Reed Gallery proudly welcomes
back Nancy Newman Rice, presenting her latest collection
of colorful, intricate, architectural paintings.

Nancy Newman Rice’s paintings are rooted in the use of
Euclidian geometry as the basis of pictorial organization
through subtle designs and simplified spatial effects. Her
“Sacred Space” oil paintings began as an attempt to
define the interiors of identifiable architectural structures
by inventing elaborate geometric scaffolding to map
the space within the confines of each edifice. As the oil
paintings evolved the walls disappeared, seemingly erased
by time, and what remained was the skeleton of intangible
space, in essence, geometry as a sacred artifact.

She has received awards that include a National
Endowment for the Arts/MMA Fellowship for painting, and
nominations for a Tiffany Award and an AVA Award in the
Visual Arts.

My influences include architectural drawings, the girders
of anticipated buildings, and especially the scaffolding that
fills those spaces. They are skeletons, placeholders, and
evidence of geometry that is the armature of experience.
