Peach Refrigerator, Kitchen Interior, Yellow Wooden Cabinets, Tiled Floor

2021

About the Item

A refrigerator with assorted magnets stands next to a microwave, toaster oven and blender, surrounded by wooden cabinets in a kitchen with a blue and ivory tiled floor. In her work, Polly Shindler is always thinking about the psychology of a place. Ideas born from an investigation of solitude and retreat over time became an investigation into the lives and homes of others. Curiosity about the arrangement of a place itself raises questions: how are households organized, who designed the space, how are personal effects displayed, what is on the coffee table, and what is hidden away? Shindler appreciates the specificity of the choices. The presentation of a home expresses how its inhabitants interact with and see the world. Shindler’s paintings are of places, not people. By not depicting the figure in her work she conveys a deliberate neutrality creating simultaneously a void and a fullness, paintings full of the suggestion with no one in them. Polly Shindler’s work has been shown widely in the United States and in London and Madrid. She has been awarded residencies at Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, NY, Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT, Wassaic Project, Wassaic, NY, and others. Her work has been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine, Forbes, Art New England, and New York Arts Magazine to name a few. Shindler earned her MFA at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, and a BA in History at University of Massachusetts.

  • Studio 2006, Pointillist Interior Painting, Artist Studio
    Located in Kent, CT
    In this pointillist interior scene, an artist's studio is carefully painted in colorful dots in acrylic and gouache on Duralar mounted on panel. Signed and dated on verso. Kirstin Lamb’s gridded, meticulously detailed paintings on transparent acetate are labor-intensive paintings of labor-intensive textiles and patterns. To create these embroidery paintings, Lamb starts by generating a digitized grid and painstakingly painting each individual gridded stitch by hand using acrylic and gouache on a wet media acetate. The process creates a one-to-one relationship of mark to stitch, the act of each brushstroke serving for the stitch of a needle. Lamb’s embroidery paintings draw patterns from French floral wallpaper of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, while others draw inspiration from vintage embroidery patterns...
