Life has many forms of joy, happiness. And Earth is full of abundance. All ecosystems have their own balance. Wherever we look, we can find small details that give us pleasure. Trained eyes see it more quickly; some people like to oversee the beauty and focus on different things. But some who know where and how to look around show us a different perspective. New York-born, Maine-based painter Nick Farhi is one of the talented observers.Â
His realistic style blends to the canvas so well, it’s hard to see them as painting at first sight. But when you get closer, you can see the brush strokes and layers. He usually uses a selection of oil, pastel, graphite, acrylic, enamel spray on canvas or aluminum panel.
Nick Farhi’s paintings make me happy and cheerful. Because most people saw small objects and ornaments while visiting someplace or maybe old relatives, and these items also collect memories. They have the power of nostalgic memories to bring them back. It’s like a naïve and subtle time machine to people who believe objects have their own souls and stories.
Nick Farhi made both solo and group exhibitions many times, as he shared on his website and It’s Nice That. Some of them are Bill Brady Gallery, Miami, Galerie Golsa, Oslo, Neochrome, Turin, Steve Turner and Karma International in LA, Brand New in Milan.
Philadelphia-based painter Sierra Montoya Barela is frequently portraying casual things from everyday life by depicting self-narratives on her canvases.
