Nina Childress’s painting oeuvre is characterized by its bold versatility and fearless exploration of style. She navigates fluidly between pop art, abstraction, and hyperrealism, creating works that combine vivid colors—including fluorescent and phosphorescent hues—with provocative imagery. Her paintings often engage with cultural iconography and female representation, challenging and reinterpreting clichés through a playful yet critical lens. Childress approaches painting as both a conceptual and material practice, emphasizing the act of creation itself. Her thoughtful use of color and form reflects an ongoing inquiry into what it means to “make a painting,” balancing experimentation with a deep respect for tradition. Her work embraces ambiguity and complexity, layering meanings that invite viewers to question the boundaries between the iconic and the personal. Rooted in a rich cultural context, Childress’s practice constantly renews itself, blending historical references with contemporary sensibilities. Through her dynamic and emotive visual language, she opens spaces for dialogue about identity, perception, and the power of imagery in shaping experience. Her contributions to contemporary art are marked by both intellectual rigor and vibrant energy, making her a pivotal figure in reimagining the possibilities of painting today. ...

Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you. ...
