Nadya Isabella

Nadya Isabella is an artist born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia and is currently living on Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam territories. A recent Emily Carr graduate, Isabella’s painting practice spans a wide range of themes, from animals to pop culture, the fetishization of commodities to the rituals of the everyday. These subjects are often injected with a sense of drama- poorly taken selfies become reminiscent of paparazzi photographs and even insects and amphibians become embroiled in fiery romances replete with picture-perfect make-up and eyelashes. Recently, Isabella has exhibited in the group show Splinter Awe !! (2021) at Unit 17, Crocodile Tears (2020) at Unit 17, Vancouver; Honest Cuts (2020) at New Gallery, Calgary; Split Ends, Cuckoo (2019) in Ladysmith BC, and Shadow Tongue (2019) at Duplex, Vancouver.
