Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present von Neumann’s Dream, an exhibition of new works by New York-based artist Anastasia Komar. This marks Komar’s first solo presentation in Los Angeles, and her first with the gallery. 

The exhibition’s title, von Neumann’s Dream, is inspired by the interdisciplinary thinking of John von Neumann, a Hungarian-American that was instrumental in the development of early computers and their architecture. 

Taking cues from von Neumann’s interest in the intersection of mathematics, biology, and technology, as well as his research in the evolution of social behaviors in biological systems, Komar has created her own visual language, one that combines a historical approach of non-representational painting with new technological advancements in industrial 3D printing. Utilizing glass and electroplated polymer materials, along with acrylic paints, her wall-based works are an amalgam of painting and sculpture.
