Studio visits, one at a time.
I am now offering studio visits, or, virtual visits. My first one today went very well!
Sold!
Brutalist Society: The Promise of Glass, 2018 For decades, writers photographers and artists have focused on the modern urban landscape, hoping to access its towering language of dehumanizing jutting angles.
Inspired by the glass architecture that has been invading big cities around the world, Callie has created a series of paintings of abstract glass buildings that flirt with illusions of transparency and reflection. The Brutalist architecture deflects light, maintaining the mystery of what lies behind them. Geometric shapes and muted colors imitate the soulless feelings provoked by the facades of structures that appear empty and devoid of life. As this series evolves, vibrant colors begin to crack open the façade and morph into new reflections on hope and transcendence.
Glass buildings convey implicit and explicit meanings to passers-by and facilitate ways of seeing and being seen. They are simultaneously reflective, illusory and amorphous leaving it up to the viewer to interpret what’s transpiring. Callie’s interpretation of these window views, more reflective then transparent, serving as her own reflective feelings of the present reality that envelops us.
