The Ward-Nasse Gallery, founded by Harry Nasse, has been a respected landmark in SoHo, and a place of opportunity for artists for over 40 years. The gallery first opened in Boston during the early sixties. It subsequently moved to its present location in 1970, where it continues to be dedicated to all artists at various stages of their careers.

As an alternative space, attendance to the gallery's 2,000 ft. first-floor space has risen over the years to its current 15,000 visitors annually. All modes of contemporary art are exhibited, from traditionally executed works to more experimental art forms. Artists from across the country share walls with artists from Europe, Asia and South America.

The Ward-Nasse Gallery is a non-profit, artist administered alternative space in the heart of SoHo, dedicated to the presentation of the visual, spoken, and performing arts. All artists are given the opportunity to present their work to the public regardless of the artist's age, race, gender, or beliefs; and without outside censorship.

Norberto Conti December 14-January 06,2012

Opening reception December 17th from 7-10pm

Norberto Conti was born in Buenos Aires, studied Engineering, Mathematics and Art and and moved to Brazil in 1972.
By the mid 80’s he fell in love with Quantum Physics,
a great source of inspiration for the unique blend of art, science and life he displays in his paintings .
His impeccable technique adorns a surrealistic view of recurring obsessions like Alice and Bobby Fischer, and Physics.

Obsessed with Alice
Lewis Carroll, author, mathematician, logician and photographer, well known for his fantastic “Alice’s adventures in wonderland” and its sequence
“Through the looking glass”, was the creator of a magic world that teased
my imagination since my early childhood. When, some twenty years ago, I entered the exciting world of quantum physics, I found many of its paradoxes to be reminiscent of Carroll’s stunning creations. Many a time, some of the magic of Alice and
quantum physics worlds seem to linger on my canvas. So it is no surprise that so much of Alice’s surrealistic presence is displayed in my paintings.

Obsessed with Bobby
Bobby Fischer was one of the greatest world chess champions in the history of the game. More than for its creative, strong yet simple play he captivated me
because he stood alone against the apparently invincible Soviet chess empire.
Most of all, he impressed me because single-handedly, almost quixotically, he destroyed the soviet plot to continue to dominate the chess world. In my series,
which I started shortly after his death, I pay homage to his mental strength, his creativity and his chess magic.

My Heroes
To some, art and science are just different manifestations of madness. When revealed by extreme talent, this madness builds fascinating characters.
Such is the case of Dalí, Picasso, Einstein, Heisenberg, Carroll, Cézanne
and a long list of true geniuses.
