About the Item

This painting features hues of purple, green and yellow. Chattanooga-based artist Christina Renfer Vogel’s “Turning Towards the Sun” features paintings that reflect an intentional turn towards beauty in the face of the tension & uncertainty of recent years. Through nourishing periods of focused observation, she has allowed herself to delight in jubilant color, playful pattern & sensual gesture. Her works delight in the delicate unfurling of a tender leaf & the gentle turn towards an open window, as flowers seek warmth & stretch towards sunlight in the space of a painting session. “Bringing plants & flowers into my studio to serve as subjects - & companion - has been a kind of celebration of vibrant life & fleeting pleasure,” says Christina. “Working from direct observation requires close looking, & my attention has been rewarded with quiet stirrings. These works are small luxuries, defiant acts of care & gestures of hope." Christina holds an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and a BFA from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Christina has participated in Artist residencies including the JSS in Civita program (Civita Castellana, Italy), the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts & the Vermont Studio Center. She is a recipient of a Lighton International Artists Exchange Program grant & an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant, among other awards. Christina currently serves as an associate professor of painting and drawing at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

  • Castilleja cruenta standl
    By Penelope Gottlieb
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    A painting by Penelope Gottlieb. "Castilleja cruenta standl" is a contemporary painting, ink, acrylic and oil on canvas panel in a variety of bright, bold colors by American artist Penelope Gottlieb. After receiving her BFA from the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, Penelope Gottlieb went on to earn her MFA from the University of California in Santa Barbara where she currently lives and works. Gottlieb’s artistic repertoire is thoroughly modern and includes innovative paintings as well as compelling media design, for which she received an Emmy in the field of motion picture title design in 1993. Gottlieb’s more recent works showcase a unique synthesis of her modern graphic design background and the vintage botanical renderings of natural scientists. However, her paintings are also unique in their perspective on the traditional floral still life. Stylized flora and fauna are depicted as emanating from a comic book explosion, illustrating what the artist refers to as “the dire state of the planet” as faced with species extinction and the resulting biological and ecological ramifications. These violent representations of the artistically typified placid natural world are intended as “visual eulogies for lost plant life.” The particular specimens that Gottlieb depicts are in fact extinct and she is able to recreate them only from historical drawings and botanist’s descriptions. Although avant-garde and aesthetically unique, Gottlieb’s paintings delineate clear influences from the renowned artists of Pop and Expressionist art. The composition of many of her paintings is reminiscent of Kandinsky’s canvas-filling outpours while her bold color palette and black outlines recall Lichtenstein’s comic book panels. Her work is also closely related to a more contemporary group of artists, including Alexis Rockman...
