Ginny Krueger: THE TRANSCENDENTAL GARDEN
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, January 24th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, March 14th
Since childhood, the flora of the natural world has delighted Ginny Krueger, and this serves as a springboard for her Transcendental Garden exhibit. The forms, color, and textures propose an invented world, and the physicality of materials lends to a multi-dimensional experience that engage the senses, while evoking the multifaceted layers of life.
Krueger’s works are partially or entirely created using the encaustic medium – wax, resin, and pigment in a molten form, applied to wood and further cured through fire. Working with fire is alchemical, fugitive, mesmerizing, and unpredictable, which Krueger views as a moment-by-moment adventure and a process that is infinite in fluidity and possibility. Her works are also treasure troves of fabric, ceramic, paper and other materials. With the encaustic medium serving as the grip, Krueger arranges the materials into fanciful amalgams, or unlikely gardens that that depart from the expected, and convey something entirely new in depth and complexity.
The earth and its bounty have claim on Krueger. She is driven to make art that is elemental and evocative, where each painting is a medley, a melded place, where both the gritty and sublime combine. Each offering in the exhibit is an invitation into a transcendental world of beauty, whimsy, and mystery.
