Zhao Na’s Elaborate Paintings of Nature

Zhao Na's elaborate acrylic and ink paintings explore nature's splendor. Her recent work, Drunk in Autumn, features a variety of exotic creatures such as red pandas, koalas, and leopards napping peacefully in a plentiful pomegranate tree. Her paintings typically show expansive scenes with many animal characters engaged in a variety of activities at once. Detail shots of her work reveal tight brushstrokes more evocative of drawing than painting. Na's detail-oriented paintings allow viewers to get lost in the many microcosms within them.

Preview: Jonathan Viner’s “Cold Snap” at Sloan Fine Art

It's blistering cold outside, but the whiskey is keeping you warm and the crackling of the record player is drowning out the howling wind outside.

Filled with nostalgic imagery and elements of '70s counterculture, his paintings are rife with intrigue amid their idyllic milieu. The works take on an illustrative quality as they let viewers in on an art theft in progress or what looks like an erotic encounter gone awry. "Cold Snap" opens at Sloan Fine Art in New York on October 24 and will be on view through November 2.
