Dappled Forest, Pointillist Forest Landscape, Green Leaves, Brown Trees, Woods

2022

About the Item

In this pointillist landscape, a forest scene with trees in woods 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 from the 1950s, ’60s, and ‘70s or from the artist’s own photography, often interiors, landscapes, and portraits. In this sense, the work is a documentation of patterns spanning history, transferred to intentionally cropped compositions that read as both woven and pixelated, reframing the subject matter as distinctly contemporary. Lamb received a BFA from Brown University and an MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and in Berlin, Germany, featured in Hyperallergic and other publications, and is in the collection of Fidelity Investments, Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA, and in Providence College, Providence, RI, among others. The artist lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island.

  • CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling
    By Heather Hartman
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...
