Lover's Knot is Wendell Gladstone's third solo exhibition at Nazarian / Curcio, focusing on the concept of intimacy as both a physical and metaphysical experience. The exhibition features intertwined figures that symbolize the emotional complexity of human connection, with the motif of the knot representing love's transformative power. Architectural elements within the paintings reflect the emotional charge of relationships, while natural imagery serves as a connective force. The series showcases narrative moments that underline love as both a tangible experience and a mythic entity, inviting viewers to engage with a surreal interpretation of emotional and structural dynamics.
Figures appear in intertwined embraces-bodies threaded together like cords-evoking the emotional complexity and binding force of human connection.
The knot, as both motif and metaphor, anchors the exhibition as a symbol of love's capacity to support, entangle, and transform.
These spaces act not as backdrops but as extensions of the figures themselves, echoing the energy of the relationships they contain.
In Lover's Knot, love itself becomes a kind of architecture: built, bound, and sustained by invisible forces.
