KATHERINE BERNHARDT
‘Super Models and Swatch Watches’

October 15 – November 14, 2009

Se presenta la exposición “Super Models and Swatch Watches” compuesta por las pinturas de la artista americana Katherine Bernhardt (1975, St. Louis, Missouri) en la galeria Marta Cervera. Modelos de moda y diseños de relojes Swatch pueblan la exposición de Bernhardt, todo pintado en un estilo suelto y colorido en enormes lienzos.

Katherine pinta retratos de mujeres y naturalezas muertas que tienen como base las imágenes de revistas de moda y conocidos símbolos de consumo. Utilizando acrílicos captura la mejor parte de la moda: el poder y el deseo, todo ello con un expresionismo que casi roza lo abstracto. Una gestual pincelada llena de fuerza y espontaneidad junto al goteo de vivos colores dan lugar a una fusión de glamour y caos en su obra. Piernas, brazos y torsos se mezclan, formando patrones extraños donde diferentes manchas se convierten en una mano, un vestido y un rostro. Las líneas que marcan las horas en los Swatch son profundas y completamente gestuales, pero también los son los contornos de los rostros o la curva del rimel en un ojo.

Las pinturas de Katherine Bernhardt encarnan el nerviosismo cosmopolita. Sus telas exuberantes integran todos los adornos de fantasía y lujo que rodean el mundo de la moda.

Self Evident Opening Reception

Posted in Gallery Events, Main Content, Upcoming Events on March 1st, 2009 by admin

Self Evident Reception at ArtHaus66 GalleryIt is a fact: the view is better from a sitting, comfortable position….particularly after a couple of hours of admiring the fabulous artwork displayed in Self Evident.


The Saturday reception took place without a glitch. The guests enjoyed some snacks while they visited with two of our artists, Carol Sanchez and Ali Gallo, who were kindly in attendance. Everyone raved about the work…Carol’s handmade boxes consisting of mezzotints and copper plates, were all sold within the first hour…They are indeed very collectable items…and there are more to come during our First Friday reception…


Ali’s sculptures looked impeccable and perfectly complemented Carol’s prints. The show was extremely coherent and, although succinct, it came together flawlessly…


The biggest surprise of the night were Paige William’s panels…As it often happens with abstract art, they elicited a strong reaction…and I believe that they left quite a lingering impression in some of the guests…In their simplicity, Paige’s paintings are very intriguing and beautiful…We are curious to see how they will be received during First Friday, since the crowd consists of very different people from what we had last night…


All in all, the space looked beautiful with the new additions and changes… It’s coming into its own…


For those in Albuquerque, don’t miss the article on the Abq Arts beautifully written by Jim Belshaw. It offers a preview on our April show and introduces the gallery to those looking for a true contemporary space in Albuquerque. On Wednesday, pick up an Alibi and learn more about ArtHaus66 Contemporary Gallery by checking out the article on local businesses…ArtHaus66 is prominently featured as one of the local places to keep on your radar at all times…and we won’t disagree with that!
