The Coral Springs Museum of Art is hosting Christina Nicola’s first solo exhibition, “I Want to be Wonderful.”
This show centers on Christina’s reflections on her own physical and psychological autonomy as a black female over time. She invites guests to navigate her growth through internal dilemmas and de/construction of her identity in her semi-autobiographical exploration. Drawing on her fondness for the expressionist and fauvism movements, she masterfully layers colors, textures, and mediums to replicate the shadowing depths of her skin’s undertones. For Nicola, I Want to Be Wonderful is a declaration of intent: not simply to be in existence, but to claim her existence.
To add to all of the excitement Christina will also participate in a live Artist talk with Moderator Mellissa Hunter Davis from Sugarcane Magazine on November 10th from 6:00-8:00pm.
