Fran J Nagy

Contemporary Abstract Artist

 
Dream Weaver.36x24.jpg

Welcome, my name is Fran J Nagy. I am a Contemporary Abstract Artist residing in Birmingham, Alabama.

My work is influenced by nature and history. I draw inspiration from the natural world with a curiosity for what lies ahead for humanity. With the use of acrylics and resin, I incorporate natural elements like feathers and leaves, symbolic of the connection we have to the earth, our environment and with each other.

“When I paint, I step aside and allow my spirit to guide my hands”.

Fran J Nagy

I create art to give my soul a voice. With my art I strive to create work that incorporates materials in their natural state, particularly unglazed ceramic and wood. With an open eye, I’m always on the look-out for organic matter as a component for a painting or an element in a sculpture. With great efforts, I enhance, transform with heat, and take extra measures to preserve the natural beauty of the materials I use.

Past events

Think of Fran Nagy’s paintings as commentaries on the complex relationship between Native and U.S. history and contemporary culture. Her work delivers a powerful message and speaks eloquently to “the ones who are remembered – by how they were forgotten.
— Susan viebrock, Tellurideinside 2020
Fran conveys an intuitive approach to her new creations. Adventurous and brave in her process, Fran does not shy away from experimenting with a new medium nor a sensitive subject. Fran’s willingness to dive deep into social stigmas and cultural woundings bring a pensiveness to her visually stunning work. The Grand Bohemian Galleries are honored to represent Fran’s thoughtful and sophisticated paintings and sculptures.
— mary smith, the Grand bohemian Gallery 2020
Working with acrylic and resin on canvas, like Modigliani, the paintings of this multi-disciplinary artist feature elongated forms, but Nagy depicts her figures with their backs to us – as they forward march into an unknown future. Some of these faceless shapes are stretched to the point of abstraction. Stretched any further and they could disappear into a simple line with no clear identity at all.

These forms could easily be read as exclamation points at the end of a story about what happened to Native Americans in a country that prides itself – or used to – on being a melting pot.
