Catherine Couturier Gallery:
“Catherine Couturier Gallery is excited to announce our upcoming show BLOOM, featuring a variety of botanical photographs from gallery artist Wendi Schneider. Comprised of Polaroid transfers and hand-colored photographs, each piece is a testament to Schneider’s unique vision. Unlike traditional bouquets, Wendi’s creations will never wilt, offering a lasting reminder of your affection just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Wendi Schneider is a Denver based visual artist illuminating impressions of grace in the natural world with photography and precious metals. In Wendi’s own words: “BLOOM is a bouquet of floral studies, a selection of hand-painted photographs and Polaroid transfers from the 1980s to mid-1990s. I referred to the works of that time as Stilled Lives. My work continues to be rooted in a celebration of the senses and the visceral need to express myself intuitively. That vine has woven through time – the practice of creating unique expressions by layering color laid the foundation for the layering and gilding that decades later became the States of Grace series.”
Born in Memphis, TN in 1955, Schneider holds an AA in Art History from Stephens College and a BA in Painting from Newcomb College at Tulane. Schneider’s photographs have been exhibited and collected internationally and are held in permanent collections at New Orleans Museum of Art, Memphis Brooks Museum, Auburn University Library Collection, the Try-Me Collection, The Asheville Art Museum, and numerous private collections.
The artist will be in attendance at the opening reception on Saturday, January 20th.”
