About the Item

From the beginning of my practice, I have maintained a feminist perspective and a questioning of modernism. Conceptual queries and artistic explorations have taken several aesthetic and formal paths, be it the environmental structures of the 1980’s, the text-based painting installations Miss Lonelyhearts and The Black Notebooks or the recent Flatland series of shaped, abstract panels. I have never sought to develop a consistent voice, as I question the deeply embedded modernist notion of artistic originality. However, based on stylistic conventions and the work of artists from the past, plus the use of strategies of chance, the work becomes my own. As well, I seek to re-examine aspects of that which is disparaged such as ornament and the decorative and validate them as contributing to the history of abstract art as it emerged in modernism. All of my conceptual queries reflect concerns of continuing social significance, such as the voice of women in society and, more specifically, women’s cultural production and the binary polarities of thought that dominate our current social, cultural and political discourses. I have sought to articulate these issues in a visual language that engages the viewer and causes them to question their perceptual and intellectual assumptions. Brigitte Radecki was born in Germany, immigrated to Canada as a child and currently lives and works in Montreal and Cape Breton Island, Canada. She received her BFA and MFA from Concordia University in Montreal and has shown her work throughout Canada, as well as Europe (Lyon, France; Erfurt, Germany) and the US (Dallas, Texas). She has been a recipient of several grants. Her work is in private as well as corporate, and public collections such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Canada Council Art Bank, Air Canada and the National Bank of Canada.

Ash: geometric abstract mixed media painting w/ red flowers, fruit & black lines
By Mat Tomezsko
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
Mat Tomezko's latest series of abstract mixed media paintings are constructed from traditional acrylic painting and the incorporation of ash into a hand-mixed paint of his own creation. This piece is part of a body of work that uses evocative materials and imagery of fire, flowers, food, newspapers, asphalt, and ash to illuminate the interconnectedness of destructive and creative forces. "Ash" is a traditional still-life and landscape composition interrupted by broad black geometric chevron lines or "arrows" that divide the composition symmetrically in a geometric balance. This painting is signed and dated on the back. It includes all hanging hardware and is ready to install -- no need for additional framing. Tomezsko is an artist from Philadelphia who creates abstract paintings, public art installations, and community art projects based around participation and everyday visual language. His approach to composition is informed by mid-century formalism and conceptualism. His work was recognized by the 2017 Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review for outstanding public art. Tomezsko’s work has been exhibited at numerous art spaces regionally and nationally, including the Crane Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, the Center For Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA), and Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia; Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL; the Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, DE; and Thomas Hunter Projects in New York, NY. He has created several notable public art projects including "14 Movements: A Symphony in Color and Words," a mile-long temporary mural installed in downtown Philadelphia during the 2016 Democratic National Convention; "Look Long and Look Good," a series of 30 paintings currently installed along Main Street in Manayunk; and "Flowering Axes," a mural in the 5th Street Vehicular Tunnel underneath the Ben Franklin Bridge. His work is in the collection of The Wharton...
