Saranac Art Projects
"Truest Stories"Katie Creyts
After attending
the opening for Katie's show at the Saranac I had a lot to think about
regarding the balance between humans and the natural world around us. Katie
directly juxtaposes animals in in their natural habitat alongside man made,
nature-altering structures. These themes of an imbalance leading to negative
affects in the natural world are contrasted through seemingly whimsical
portrayals of fable-like scenes.
This theme of imbalance is especially important to me and evident in my own work. I was inspired by Katie's personal interpretation of the subject which allowed me to delve deeper into my own thoughts on the subject.
Katie's work of graphite and watercolor works are well balanced with interesting and engaging use of color and space. The graphite works are especially unified through the use of directional line. I found her work interesting and clearly translated to the viewer. Katie's underlying cognitively engaging themes are worth pondering.
Katie Creyts' work is accompanied by artists Dan McCann and Austin Stiegemeier.
The show opened November 4th and will be up for viewing until the 26th.

I also went to this gallery and I thought the pictures were very interesting. I always think it is intriguing to see animals next to man made objects because it looks so out of place but then it becomes more symbolic and open for interpretation. My favorite composition is the one with the animals next to a fountain. It is something that animals wouldn't normally interact with because it belongs in areas with a lot of people.
