From our review of Dan Nistor’s 2015 show Characters at Dusk

“Nistor’s methods are spontaneous. He choses a subject and lets his imagination run free in a first draft. ‘My interest lies primarily in the process and what happens after the first draft, since the first draft can lead to any result,’ he explains. He strives to work quickly and intensely ‘to authentically capture the moment’ and to finish each work in a single session.”

Paintings & Drawings runs until November 28th.
