Timescapes & Portals in Abstract
The opening reception for Come Home - Timescapes & Portals in Abstract by Shauna Schramke is THIS FRIDAY August 2nd from 6:00 - 9:00 at the Yellow Springs Arts Council!!
Give me painted wood and out of plumb foundations – a house with strong opinions and a tender heart. A home that refuses to let go – refuses to move on or move out of the way. Show me the layers of chipped paint and weathered paper – peeling to reveal birthdays and hard truths and measurements and impossible decisions. Every raised nail, every splinter, every wall where a child tested their art, is a portal – an intersection of time and chance. Give me an active staircase and stories of woe and joy and regret and love. Something real where I might also be – and I will stay the wind and I will distract the elements to afford us more time to come home to one another. Thank you for being here.
Artist Bio:
Shauna Schramke is a local artist living with her wife and son in Urbana, Ohio. She is an educator, a fair to middling whistler and avid time traveler. She is keen on old, quirky homes and spends her moments painting them into timescapes and portals. Her houses are people – portraits of the introverted, the less popular, the lovely, the slightly off. She paints exclusively by immersing her surroundings in music and capturing her personal sensory experience with sound on canvas. Her abstracts employ an impressionistic style, layering bold and muted colors to create depth and perspective against atmospheric backgrounds. She pays close attention to texture and includes subtle details to slow the eye and win over chaos. Her work can be found locally and with private collectors. She has been included in juried shows in Columbus, Dayton and Springfield. Shauna works from her home studio, WD Rebellion, where she welds things to other things and paints to ridiculously loud music that makes her neighbors very happy.
