Christina Bartsch: prints
A Two Person Exhibition
Important Dates:
Exhibit runs September 4 – October 2, 2010
Artist’s Reception: September 4 from 5-7
Paducah, KY – A sense of mystery and layering of color and texture are inherent in
an exhibition of paintings by Anne Bagby and original prints by Christina Bartsch at
the Yeiser Art Center.
Anne Bagby’s paintings explore the relationships we have with the world and with ourselves and with who we want the world to think we are. She employs, in her work, a combination of printmaking and painting, with layers of color, glaze, texture and pattern. Bagby’s paintings play with the boundaries between design and texture. The quilt tradition, oriental rugs, and the kaleidoscope inspire the fabric-like look, the lack of volume and deep space and the use of multiple images.
Christina Bartsch’s etchings are about socialization of children and the process involved when young children are becoming aware of society and learning how they are expected to behave. In her prints, the child is referenced by the use of simple shapes, while the adult structural role is shown by the use of diagrams. Working in structured formats, Bartsch juxtaposes graphically drawn objects using bold lines beside organic, imaginary space.
Anne Bagby received her BA degree from Queens College, Charlotte, NC, and earned a MAT degree at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Her work has been exhibited recently in Florence, AL, Hollywood, CA, Dallas, TX, and Chattanooga TN. Anne has held residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, Ucross Foundation, WY and the Association of Visual Artists and Downtown Partnership, Chattanooga, TN. Her work has received numerous awards. She has taught workshops and classes throughout the U. S., Canada, Mexico, and France. Anne lives in Estill Springs, TN.
Christina Bartsch received her BFA degree from Murray State University. In 2008, she was a visiting artist at Indiana University Southeast. Her work has been included in recent exhibitions in Alexandria, VA; Buffalo, NY; North Easton, MA; Murray and Morehead, KY. Christina’s prints have been included in a number of portfolio projects and print exchanges. Christina lives in Paducah, KY.
