Atlantic Gallery in New York presents "Metamorphic", painting, drawings & books by Irene Christensen. October 3 - 28, 2011. Closing Reception: October 28, 2011 5-7 pm.
“Irene Christensen’s art is about painting as a magical act. Her images repeat and are transformed, as words and images in poems. She likes to maintain a sense of wonder in her art. That life is strange and quirky, and contradictory, that tragedy and comedy are not played out in separate theaters, but co-exist, side by side.” - Excerpt from art critic John Zeaman
"I am involved in creating a personal iconography. These symbols are rooted in the figurative and landscape images with colors setting moods rather than copying nature. These paintings are done through traditional oil or acrylic, mixed media, while the installations of metamorphic wooden boxes are about the merging of electronic age and organic life. They are my translation of the spirits, humor and erotics of life." - Irene Christensen
