AUGUST 29th - OCTOBER 12th 2025
OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY AUGUST 29TH 2025 6-9PM
Incline Gallery is pleased to present "The Beauty That Is Left," a solo exhibition by Bay Area artist Nicole Andrijauskas, opening in August 2025. This marks Andrijauskas's first major exhibition at a San Francisco gallery, presenting her nuanced exploration of post-optimism aesthetics through a sophisticated use of women mingling with floral imagery that examines the complex emotional terrain they navigate in contemporary society, where female friendships are a guiding light.
Drawing from her background as both a fine artist and a respected voice for women's representation in traditionally male-dominated spaces, Andrijauskas creates work that acknowledges the "incredibly powerful force" of despair while maintaining that "optimism is the right response to the human condition." Her visual framework offers viewers a way to process contradictory emotional responses to a world in flux, situated at the intersection of complex intimate relationships and social polarization.
