BROOKLINE ART GALLERY EXHIBITION - September 5 - October 7, 2008
ELABORATE HAND-PAINTED BLOOMSBURY TEA TRAYS
CELEBRATE THE JOY OF COLOR IN
SEPTEMBER BROOKLINE ARTS CENTER EXHIBITION
(BROOKLINE, MA AUGUST 6, 2008) – Award-winning artist Judy Kramer will be exhibiting her latest work, “Bloomsbury Tea Trays” at the Brookline Arts Center from Friday, September 5 through Tuesday, October 7, 2008. The exhibition contains elaborately decorated wooden trays that depict birds, flowers, trees and fanciful designs on a colorful ground.
Kramer was inspired to create these trays after reading a critique of one of her favorite artists, Howard Hodgkin, that described the British abstract artist as “The penultimate painter of Bloomsbury tea trays.” Offended by what she characterizes as a “snarky put-down”, Kramer thought nothing could be more beautiful than Bloomsbury tea trays. Since they didn’t exist, she decided she must make them herself.
“I am a great admirer of the Bloomsbury Group and their delightfully iconoclastic and intimate work,” says Kramer. “They inspired me to create the works in this show at the Brookline Arts Center.” They trays are intricate and decorative, reminding one of Matisse, of Indian art and Swedish art all at once.
Judy Kramer, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a widely known artist. In recent years, her work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Soprafina Gallery, MacKeen Gallery and Gallery Naga. Her work has been collected by the Addison Gallery of American Art, Allentown Art Museum and Woodmere Museum of Philadelphia. In 2005, she presented the solo show “Souvenir de Provence” at the Brookline Arts Center gallery, and was featured in a televised program, “Souvenir de Provence” created by Let It Be Productions.
An opening reception will be held Friday, September 19, 2008, from 6 – 8 p.m. and is free to the public. The Brookline Arts Center is located at 86 Monmouth St. in Brookline. For more information, call 617-566-5715 or visit www.brooklineartscenter.com . The Brookline Arts Center is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
