Andrea Dezsö’s “Nature Wall” (2018) at the New Utrecht Ave (N,W) station in Brooklyn expands on her nearby metal artwork at the 62nd Street (D) station entitled “Nature Rail” (2012), borrowing it’s plant and animal motifs for the cascading set of colorful glass and ceramic mosaic murals (fabricated by Miotto Mosaics). Speaking about her inspiration for this artwork, Dezsö shared that her “imagination was captured by how wild plants found ways to survive and thrive in this very urban area. From abandoned lots to areas between buildings, nature found ways to grow alongside construction sites, structures of steel and concrete, even in potholes. It made me smile every time I saw an uninvited, un-nurtured plant surviving entirely on its own on the urban stage.” She envisions her artwork as a celebration of this “urban thriving.” More of Andrea Dezso’s work can be seen in “Transfigured”, an exhibition of four artists who transcend the boundaries of their artistic medium, currently on view at C24 Gallery through 2/23, and in “In the Deep Heart’s Core”, opening 1/24 at NYU Langone Art Gallery.

The bees are buzzing this summer at mosaic fabricator Stephen Miotto’s studio as they work to translate Andrea Dezsö’s artwork into mosaic for the New Utrecht station (N), an extension of her existing metal artwork at the adjacent 62nd Street station (D).
