Niina Chebry is recognized for her nature based paintings. She carves the paint to create icebergs in a state somewhere between the tranquil and the tempest. There is a sense of brooding - a silent moment before an eventual storm. These sculptural ice forms, sometimes transparent, sometimes crumbling, are set adrift on the open sea. They cast long reflections and shadows of some timeless moment of day and night. Powerful forces of nature and the fragility of the planet seem to rest on these tilting masses. Here the iceberg has become a metaphor, suggesting isolation, impermanence and the human condition.
