ABOUT

Structure and Relation

Paintings and collage by Babette Herschberger

Babette Herschberger's colorful abstractions are at once formal, yet very personal. Of her process she says, "My approach to working is very intuitive; usually there are no sketches to work from and little predetermined choice of color. The result is the physical consequence of a dialog between myself and my materials while I am working. I'm particularly intrigued by the contrast of manmade objects like signs, billboards and architecture upon the natural world." Babette Herschberger was born in Indiana and currently lives and works in Miami, Florida.

Indeterminate Reality

Paintings and mixed media works by Mary Larsen

Mary Larsen resides in Miami and finds inspiration in the sublime. She describes her work as a coalescence of nature, geometry, and chance to form an unsettling place that glimpses the possibility of transcendence. "Often, I find balance and harmony through imbalance and dissonance. By both obscuring and revealing; rubbing out and making marks, erasing one history and replacing it with another, a new narrative emerges only to disappear."

Under the Bridge Art Space

Still Lives, Paintings by Kristen Thiele

Kristen Thiele's images are derived from the motion pictures of the 1930s through the 1950s. She's particularly interested in this era of film and how it aligns with the concept of artifice via opulent and escapist themes. The subjects of her paintings are about the fleeting, the missing, and the unattainable, however as paintings they become the very antithesis of the ephemeral. In Still Lives, Kristen Thiele's image choices speak to isolation, the anonymity of the crowd, ambiguity, and the ignored places between the deliberate and the staged.
