About the artist:
Mr. Nestor is an abstract painter who strikes a strange new chord with portraiture. Using photographs he takes of beautiful women, he creates grotesque, distorted creatures, their features uncomfortably recognizable within the melting forms, slashes and swirls of Buddy’s abstraction.
’These physical and psychological images are my attempt to capture the true nature of humanity. They are spiritual X-Rays. The models that I use in my work are all beautiful women. However, there is nothing beautiful about the portraits I create.’
Mr. Nestor was born and raised in Collingswood, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia, PA. As an only child ’Latch Key Kid’, he spent endless hours in front of the television, watching movies and drawing and gravitating toward strange cult and horror films. In 1999, he traveled around the world on an aircraft carrier, and painted everyday. He received his B.A in Fine Arts shortly after his return to the States.

About the curator:
Anagnorisis Fine Arts is a young organization that represents and exhibits extraordinary emerging and established artists. Each artist is chosen for their penchant for creating very lush artwork, uplifting or uncomfortable, subversive or sublime. Much of this artwork could be said to fall under the new contemporary genres of the Neo-Grotesque and the Pop Surreal. Exhibiting mainly at the White Rabbit Lounge in New York City, Anagnorisis also works frequently with other galleries and spaces to introduce new visual language to art collectors and lovers alike.

We look forward to seeing you!!
