The Nave Gallery Annex introduces Painting Intricacies, an exhibition of work that explores the visual language of detailed, meticulous painting.

For this exhibition, curator and Somerville artist Resa Blatman is on the lookout for intricate, beautiful, and/or lush paintings of any medium or style that don’t hold back.
