    Jamie Nares

    Over the course of five decades, Jamie Nares has investigated, challenged, and expanded the boundaries of her mul-tidisciplinary practice that encompasses film, music, painting, photography, and performance. She continues to em-ploy various media to explore physicality, motion, and the unfolding of time. In the 1980s, Nares began to paint using brushes of her own manufacture, leading to her monumental brushstrokes of the 1990s onwards which appear almost three-dimensional in their detail and depth, recording a gestural passage of time and motion across the canvas. 

    NARES TRACES marks the fifteenth solo exhibition of Nares’ work staged at Kasmin in New York since the gallery be-gan representing the artist in 1991. The exhibition also celebrates fifty years since the British-born artist’s critical move to New York in 1974.
