Jennifer Bartlett 'Houses', 2005
Serigraph in colors
35 x 32.75 in.
Jennifer Bartlett is a painter whose process-oriented works have defined her distinct and shifting style. After earning an MFA at Yale University in the 1960s, Bartlett moved to New York and soon became part of the artistic conversation of the late 60s and 70s. Influenced by Sol Lewitt's, "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art", Bartlett's early work was fastidious and geometric, with abstract subject matter and unpredictable color palette.
Bartlett's systematic process is the foundation of her practice. The mystery of her non-romanticized subject matter, such as houses, statues, and strangely familiar landscapes, invite the viewer into an elusive narrative. At times busy and hectic, and others calm and meditative, Bartlett consistently refers to the grid, as with the delicate weaves in her most recent body of work, Amagansett.
