An opening reception will be held Friday, February 13th from 5 to 7pm. All are welcome to attend. Nivola will be in attendance.
Nivola, born in 1977, went to work for artist Caio Fonseca in Pietrasanta, Italy at the age of 18. He went on to study at Yale University, and received several prestigious awards before graduating in 2000, including the Ellen Batell Stoekel Fellowship. He later received a master’s degree in fine art from the New York Studio School, graduating in 2006. Adrian is the grandson of Ruth Guggenheim Nivola and Costantino Nivola, a celebrated Italian sculptor who was among the first wave of artists who settled on the East End of Long Island in the 1940s among other masters. Through the legacy of his grandparents, Nivola inherited a formative philosophy of life in art. The artist’s work is currently in numerous prestigious collections both in Europe and the U.S. Nivola has exhibited at the Yale University Art & Architecture Gallery, New Haven, CT; The Paul Dietrich Gallery in Boston, MA, The Painting Center, in NY; and The Drawing Room, in East Hampton, NY among others. Nivola lives and works in Brooklyn.
