Nadir Souirgi

Nadir Souirgi (b.1975, NY) is an artist who divides his time between New York and Connecticut. Raised between New York and Miami, with deep interest in history of science, conservation, and Atlantic history, Sourigi explores formal and conceptual aspects of abstraction sustained by his personal relationship to natural surroundings. His recent paintings—tile paintings—are created through assembled layers of painted skins collaged together. They exist at once as paintings/objects, projecting from the wall with notched sides referencing shipping palettes. As such, they participate in the global economic network.
