Jackie Nickerson Exhibition
An exhibition of works from Jackie Nickerson's Faith will be on display at Brancolini Grimaldi Arte Contemporanea, Rome from September 18 - November 16, 2008.
Jackie Nickerson’s Faith is a compelling portrayal of a hidden world, the Catholic religious orders of Ireland. Her combination of gentle portraits and simple documentation of daily rituals and communal devotion suggest an austere existence grounded in optimism, strength and contentment.
The simplicity of Nickerson’s images invokes the muted and restrained palette of Fra Angelico, bringing an often beatific air to her tranquil subjects. Whilst never suggesting that she is able to divine or represent the veiled mysteries of faith, Nickerson does manage to honestly present a vocational life riven by clarity of purpose and personal courage.
VIA DEI TRE OROLOGI 6A, ROME, 00197, ITALY
Opening Reception September 18, 6pm.
