Nava Lubelski (born in New York City)
Nava Lubelski is contemporary artist who works and lives in Asheville, NC. Her canvases consist of wholes, stains and embroidery
There is a strong duality in Lubelski's work, characterized by opposites: aggression/conciliation, chaotic/controlled, and expressive/constricted. This duality is continued throughout her technique and the associations inherent in her various methods of working. Using bold and deliberate colors, Lubelski redefines the stained shapes with needle and thread. Through action and re-action form is given to stereotypically masculine and feminine tendencies. The juxtaposition of the accidental marks with the detailed and labor-intensive structure of the stitching liberates threadwork from its traditional dependence on functionality and order, while simultaneously enhancing the aggressive forms.
She holds an BA in Russian Literature and History from Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT
