Studio Practice at the Menil with Nestor Topchy

To celebrate the Menil Collection’s exhibition “The Iconic Portrait Strand by Nestor Topchy”, Houston artist Nestor Topchy invites the community inside his studio process of making icon portraits. He will be creating new works on site, and audiences can see the process in real time and engage in conversations with the artist, gaining valuable insights into his inspiration, techniques, and his artistic vision. This rare glimpse into his creative world promises to be an enriching experience, fostering a deeper appreciation and accessibility to a living artist’s studio practice. Topchy’s on-site studio is located at 1509 Branard Street in the bungalow garage across from the museum’s main building.
