“The Blythe” Contemporary Sewn and Naturally Dyed Composition by Louisa Dunn

Details Details Close Description Done in an Asian calligraphy style Jackie Battenfield was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1950, received her MFA in Visual Art from Syracuse University (1978) and a BS from Pennsylvania State University (1971). She currently lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A survey of her graphic works, Moments of Change, was presented at the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art at the University of Richmond (2009), and will travel to the University of Arizona Museum of Art, Tucson in 2011. Galleries throughout the United States represent her work including: Addison-Ripley, Washington, D.C.; Addington Gallery, Chicago, Illinois; Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Larchmont, New York; Michele Mosko Fine Art, Denver, Colorado; and DM Contemporary, New York. Battenfield has been greatly influenced by Asian art and culture. This is evident in the prints, monotypes, works on paper, and paintings on canvas created by the artist, which are often described as musical, gestural, and spontaneous. Jackie Battenfield is an artist known for her luminous paintings and prints of natural forces. Her works explore her fascination with the most abstract qualities of landscape–storms, clouds, brush fires, and water ripples. She has been working with handmade papers from Asia for over twenty years. She relates her mark making to the array of expressive materials and textures imbedded in the paper, such as bamboo leaves, horsehair, and gold leaf, or the rippled edge of a handmade paper. This work is somewhat reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionist work of Sam Francis. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Award (1991) and the Warren Tanner Award (1996). Her work is represented in many collections worldwide including the New York Public Library, NY; The Zimmerli Art Museum, Montclair Art Museum, NJ; Palmer Museum, University Park, PA; Museum of Art at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; and the United States Embassy Collections in Brazil, Cambodia, Croatia, Jamaica, and Peru E X H I B I T I O N S Solo & Two Artist Shows 2018 Chasing the Sky: Jackie Battenfield & Jennifer Falck Linssen Chicago Art Source, Chicago, IL 2017 Branched, Jackie Battenfield & Julia Bloom, Addison/Ripley Fine Art, Washington, D.C. 2015 Mirage, Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Larchmont, NY 2014 Another Garden, Wave Hill, Bronx, New York 2013 Town & Country, Allyn Gallup Contemporary Art, Sarasota, FL (with Deborah Brown) 2012 Field Notes, Addison/Ripley Fine Art, Washington, D.C. 2011 Moments of Change, University of Arizona Museum, Tucson, AZ P E R M A N E N T A R T C O M M I S S I O N S 2017 New York University, Langone Medical Center, Radiation Treatment Suite MTA Arts & Design, Avenue P elevated subway station, “F” Line, Brooklyn, NY Selected Group Shows 2018 Crazy Beautiful III, Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Larchmont, NY Flower Power, ODETTAGarveySimon Fine Art, New York, NY 2017 Art in Bloom, Flinn Gallery, Greenwich, CT Celebrating Prints, Michele Mosko Fine Art, Denver, CO Summer Exhibition, SHOgallery, Brooklyn, NY 2009 Gallery Artists, DM Contemporary, New York, New York 2008 The Future Must Be Sweet: Lower East Side Printshop Celebrates 40 Years, International Print Center, NYC 2007 American Institute in Taiwan, Taipei, Taiwan United States Embassy, Tel Aviv, Israel 2005 Cool Art/Hot Summer, Allyn Gallup Contemporary Art, Sarasota, FL 2003 Recent Acquisitions, Palmer Museum of Art, University Park, PA Paper 2003, Metaphor Contemporary Art, Brooklyn, NY 2002 Drawings for Peace, Kentler International Drawing Space, Brooklyn, New York Michael Petronko Gallery, New York City Paper +, Dieu Donne Papermill & Gallery, New York 1997 Generations, A.I.R.
