A magnificent introduction to the Cobra art movement

Nadia Naveau combineert in haar werk ernst met speelsheid. Als geen ander weet de beeldhouwster de toeschouwer te verleiden en een gevoel van vervreemding op te roepen.

Let’s Play it by Ear is niet alleen een terugblik op twintig jaar kunstpraktijk maar ook, net zoals haar sculpturen, een visuele puzzel van materialen en referenties aan vroeger en nu.

Publicatie bij de expo Nadia Naveau – Bringer Together in de Warande in Turnhout van 12 december 2021 tot 3 april 2022.
