Mendes Wood DM presents Nocturnal Music, Varda Caivano’s first New York solo exhibition. Known for abstraction and material experimentation, Caivano works with charcoal, oil, and velvet in a layered process where the studio’s dynamics drive the results. Her tactile paintings record gestures and revisions, encouraging an open, perceptual experience. Influenced by jazz and poetry, the works emphasize improvisation, resistance, and an evolving dialogue between artist, materials, and viewer.
