iuxtapositions

25. October - 31. December 2024

“Life is full of coexistence and contradictions.
Nicholas Ganz's paintings combine these opposites. Both thematically and technically. He deals with the often contradictory realities of human life and unites them in his realistic and atmospheric images.
Quickly sprayed pictorial elements meet artistically painted segments in oil.”
