Lover’s Knot: Wendell Gladstone @ Nazarian / Curcio, Los Angeles
Nazarian / Curcio is pleased to present Lover’s Knot, Wendell Gladstone’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. In this new body of work, Gladstone explores intimacy as both a physical and metaphysical experience. Figures appear in intertwined embraces—bodies threaded together like cords—evoking the emotional complexity and binding force of human connection.
