Maria Kreyn - Lensing a Storm: Viewing Room

'How would we see the expanse of space if our eyes were a prism, not a sphere?' - Maria Kreyn

Ministry of Nomads is delighted to present Lensing a Storm. A collection of striking new works from New York painter Maria Kreyn.  

Kreyn's storms take direct root in her painting of The Tempest (commissioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber as part of Kreyn's 8-painting Shakespeare Cycle, now on permanent display in the lobby of the historic Theater Royal Drury Lane). Her background in highly refined figurative painting provides the sense of drawing and representational rendering that permeates and enhances the abstract marks of her recent work. Her education in mathematics and philosophy, and other interests in neuroscience and mythology, lead Kreyn to atypical connections between disparate fields.
