About Nina
Nina Couser was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She studied Art and Literature, and has had her poetry and stories published and awarded in several national and international journals. She worked for many years in crochet design where she is known for her vintage patterns and recognizable style.
Intuitive marks form the basis of both Couser’s landscapes and abstract artworks, and express her belief in a conscious universe. Working within the confines of these initial marks is paramount to her artistic process and determines the unique voice of each painting.
She works with acrylics and inks before slowly blurring the edges with charcoal and pastels. These soft lines represent the thin boundary between the material and as yet unmanifested realm, allowing space for reality and potential to co-exist on the canvas.
Couser’s background in poetry is often present in her work in the form of asemic writing. These marks are often discreet, revealing themselves gradually, like a hidden code. In this way, her work has an intimate quality, inviting the viewer to draw closer and enter the atmosphere of the painting.
Her interest in language, spirituality and science are at the heart of each artwork. Couser’s ultimate goal is to create work which is fresh, non-derivative and true to the essence of the present moment. At the same time, she desires to relate a story which is both her own personal history and a narrative of humankind as a whole.
With the use of dark subject matter and unsettling imagery, the influence of Couser's turbulent early years is unmistakable. The response to this influence however is translated into beauty for the telling itself and an ultimate compassion for mankind.
Nina Couser has held numerous solo exhibitions in Northern Ireland and participated in several group exhibitions. Her work is held in private collections in Europe, Australia and the United States. She currently works from her studio in Zug, Switzerland.
