‘SUBTLE’ an exhibition of drawings by BRENDA BETTINSON

By Mathias | Published September 24, 2019

Twenty impressive drawings by virtuoso artist Brenda Bettinson are now on display at Mathias Fine Art. The range of subject matter takes the viewer from the natural to the mechanical. There are subtly colored forms and monochrome compositions. Botanical images of much greater than usual size are juxtaposed with expressive creative depictions of machinery or machine parts. Gorgeous, innovative and elegant!

Gallery hours: through October 20, 2019 Wed – Sun noon to 5pm and by appointment.

Reception: 10/5/19 2:30-4:30pm

Gallery Talk: On 10/10 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm

gallerist Cordula Mathias will speak about ‘SUBTLE’ the current exhibition at Mathias Fine Art. ‘SUBTLE’ is a selection of drawings by Brenda Bettinson. To say that Brenda is an expert would be an understatement. Her credits include an impressive teaching career, both inside and outside academia. She has a solid exhibition record and has contributed to the arts as juror, commentator and life-long practitioner.

They come as a sequel to her series “The Earth Remembers” and are part of a decade long preoccupation with the impact of total war upon the landscape and its populations.

Brenda Bettinson has exhibited extensively in Europe and the US. She has had one–person showings of her work in prestigious galleries and museums such as, in Maine, the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. Her work hangs in numerous public and private collections.
