Targets by Nanu Lindgren LaRosee

Nanu Lindgren LaRosee is presenting mixed media paintings that are her visual response to some of the current issues that are targeted by senseless violence. These mixed media paintings are her response to the violence against the people, institutions, and values of our country. All the pieces are square with recurring circle motifs to emphasize that the violence is not random or accidental, but planned and systemic.

  Nanu Lindgren LaRosee has a BFA in Painting from Washington University in St. Louis and has been a member of Artworks Gallery since 1991.
