"The Nabis did not adhere to a unified style, but instead championed individuality, believing each artist was the architect of their own expressive world of metaphors, symbols, and aesthetics."
"The ongoing influence of Nabi painting is evidenced with a collection of contemporary pieces on view by artists like Fabienne Verdier, Pierre Knop, Christine Safa, and more, exemplifying a cross-generation dialogue on the importance of color, rhythm, and internalized logics."
"Inaugurating the new location with 'The Nabi Shock' reflects the core of Waddington Custot expertise, highlighting the art and artists that have come to define the gallery's program."
In the late 19th century, the Nabis artists in Paris pioneered a new approach to painting that emphasized abstraction and symbolism. They moved away from Academic traditions and promoted individuality among artists. Their work laid the groundwork for 20th-century Modern art. The exhibition 'The Nabi Shock' at Waddington Custot showcases key figures like Émile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard, alongside contemporary artists, highlighting the ongoing influence of Nabi painting and its significance in the art world.
