Press Release
Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce a two-person exhibition featuring new work by Tina Vietmeier and Catherine Dudley.
“Addressing social, environmental and spiritual topics; I am interested in what we share universally; in understanding who we are as human beings, our relationships to each other, and our place in the world; referencing the multifaceted nature of self-reflection, memory, longing, illusion, growth and transformation.” - Tina Vietmeier
This series of landscapes by Bay Area artist Tina Vietmeier was influenced by her developing interest in Global Warming, particularly the rapid deterioration of the North and South Poles caused by human endeavor. Vietmeier creates a visual dialogue that making connections between our daily lives and what is happening to these natural habitats. They push back and forth between realism and abstraction and often include snippets of information, drawings and collage elements such as paper and used stamps. Known for her use of encaustic, Vietmeier carefully crafts an ethereal milky cosmos of wax and imagery.
The gallery is also featuring the work of emerging artist Catherine Dudley. Dudley’s background is in printmaking, evident though her use of screen prints combined with found papers in her mixed media collages. The pieces are often embellished with nails or brads hammered into the surface. Her chosen imagery features natural elements like plant-based forms juxtaposed with linear and man-made shapes.
“I find inspiration on a daily basis by extracting visual elements from my surroundings. I find them in the simplest architectural forms, repetition occurring in nature, and in the wide range of color and texture that exists in the world I see.” - Catherine Dudley
