Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles presents 'Winging It', a solo exhibition by Nina Chanel Abney that examines spirituality and resilience within a modern context. Running until April 26, 2025, the show features a diverse range of artworks, including paintings and immersive installations, that challenge traditional belief systems. A highlight is the reredos-inspired installation showcasing a vinyl mural and an animated neon sign that reinterpret religious imagery. Abney blends elements of contemporary culture and religious iconography, prompting viewers to think critically about faith and how it reconciles with contemporary identities and personal beliefs.
Through a striking mix of paintings, sculptures, paper-based works, and immersive installations, she reimagines traditional belief systems and their place in modern culture.
By blending elements of religious iconography with contemporary motifs, Abney crafts a visual dialogue that speaks to both the absurdity and necessity of belief in today's world.
With an ambitious reredos-inspired installation accompanied by an animated neon sign, Abney subverts traditional religious symbolism, offering an inclusive interpretation of spirituality.
Abney creates an environment where viewers can engage with spirituality on their own terms, free from institutional constraints, transforming familiar motivational phrases into quasi-spiritual declarations.
