EV GALLERY, NEW YORK
OCTOBER 15TH 2021-NOVEMBER 14TH 2021
EV Gallery is excited to present The stars cut open the sky, a solo exhibition of new works of layered paper by Nicole Aptekar. The stars cut open the sky opens October 15 with a public reception from 6-9 pm and runs through November 14, 2021.
Nicole’s pieces are set in a fictional world and depict a chipping-away at the dark fears and anxieties of that space. The wall-mounted sculptures are comprised of dozens of layers of fine paper, precision laser cut and reassembled as a three dimensional volume. Basic shapes are extruded and twisted to bring volume, depth, and a sense of architectural space to the normally 2-D medium of paper.
Her focused, limited palette of white and black showcases the curves and lines of these structures’ forms and shadows. The incorporation of metallic gold foregrounds an additional ethereal layer, simultaneously complementing and contrasting the articulated sculptural form. The structures embed a digital sensibility into a very lo-fi medium–the result of a decade of experimentation, invention, and play with custom software, hardware, and technique.
Nicole Aptekar lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She recently completed a residency at NYU’s ITP. Her work has been exhibited in New York, California, and Vancouver.
Visiting hours are available by appointment through Nov 14th. Email info@evgallery.art to set up an appointment. Requests for purchasing works can be made in person at the gallery, or via email.

OPENING THURSDAY, AUGUST 5TH, 6-9 PM
Elizabeth Kresch “What Goes On” is a series of interior paintings on view in the main gallery space. “The lyrical series of portraits are set on a grand blue couch, reflecting activity in stillness, bringing a sensation of transitions of passing through of unique interactions and varying connections. We change each other. We weave in and out, we sit we stand we fall we rise we stay.”
