Intrepretism: A Viewing Party

  • N.West 70 Main Street New Canaan, CT, 06840 United States (map)

This new photography art form introduces that by capturing the essence of a subject without specific form and detail, the experience is no longer literal. This increases the ability for one to pull from their own understanding, feelings, and perspective while interpreting the subject. Nabil West refers to this new form as “Interpretism”. During post-pandemic years, he was drawn to the open space created in one of his earlier works (Heartbeat, 2017). West longed for the "breathing room" or the time and space he had for reflection during the pandemic. This openness can be felt in the art work.


Another defining characteristic of the art is that these photographs are untouched, and as viewed through the lens, with the intent of bringing nature's true colors and imagery indoors. The approach of this photographic art creates indistinguishable transitions between colors, while celebrating nature’s vibrancy and wide tonal range, originating from often color-specific locations from around the world. It presents the beauty and power of nature without the cerebral distraction of detail, transforming the experience of viewing into more of a feeling rather than a thought.

“These works have just returned from their debut at Miami art week, and I am moved by the response it received! I hope you can join in viewing for yourself at this upcoming reception. It would be wonderful to see you there!” - Nabil West
