On view at the gallery Kristen Bartel Storm with Baskets Print media with paint 22x22” 2019 Price Upon Request Please contact us for the most up-to-date information, as availability is subject to change. To inquire, please call or email. Most recently Kristen has been making works on paper that combine print, photography and drawing that helps her explore the impact of consumer culture on natural resources within the context of the Western landscape. She has continued to be both intrigued and repulsed by the implications of the American Dream; the cost of this dream to the landscape and its natural resources. Recurrent images, like rain, gardening tools, plants and shopping carts appear in her current work yet these new pieces have begun to embrace more saturated color, bolder contrast, stronger repetition and new materials like glitter and googly eyes. These changes in the work came organically and she thinks speak to her curiosity of how notions of beauty and desire effect the shape of the landscape and perceptions of water and other non-renewables specifically. More generally her work is really about contrary relationships between us and the landscape. For her, the process of printmaking and collaging mixed media speak most clearly to incongruous relationships she enjoys thinking about like, production vs reproduction, autographic vs reprographic and made vs natural.

Looking forward to seeing the unveiling of St. Kate’s Arts Hotel . Opening this Summer. @saintkatearts @lindamarcusdesign @mragalie #artshotel #wisconsinart #contemporaryart #milwaukee
