The artist collaborates with her subjects through lengthy engagements, which give way to a deepened understanding of their individual and collective histories. This knowledge becomes the basis for portraits that render close observation and patient listening as political acts. Born in Mexico City and based in New York, Nisenbaum has presented solo and two-person exhibitions at the Barack Obama Presidential Center, Chicago, IL; Metropolitan Opera, New York, NY; Queens Museum, New York, NY; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; and Tate Liverpool, United Kingdom; among many others. Her work is in the permanent collections of institutions that include the Art Institute of Chicago, IL; FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY; Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C.; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, MA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eInspired by a bouquet of flowers that Nisenbaum once saw at a dinner party, \u003cem\u003eBlue Thistle\u003c\/em\u003e—though representational—exercises an experimentation in both scale and abstraction. The artist blew up the scale of the flowers, which spring blue, purple, and white petals that pop against a moody, stark background. These petals are further distinguished with small streaks and dots of color that provide great texture and detail. Meanwhile, the flowers cast loose, greyish shadows which appear to dance and dissipate on the striped tablecloth beneath the translucent glass vase. Through this work, Nisenbaum recalls the artistic practice of her mother, who created still-life paintings inspired by Mexico City's flower markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAliza Nisenbaum\u003cbr\u003eBlue Thistle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2026\u003cbr\u003e24 x 20 ¾ inches\u003cbr\u003eArchival pigment print\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 20 with 5 AP + 2 PP\u003cbr\u003eSigned and numbered by the artist\u003cbr\u003e$775\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-8 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden @[53.5rem]\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] min-h-8 relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"streaming-animation markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOf ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative to support Border Kindness, Nisenbaum notes, “[Border Kindness] is a true grassroots organization that believes in supporting migrant communities both in Mexico and in the United States.
