Femininity, a term used to describe women collectively, is explored anthropologically through the found objects of Kristin Nortz’s work. Nortz is interested in how familiar objects have the ability to symbolize culture, femininity and humanity.
Nortz, also known as c.k. Vindaloo, is a graduate of Columbus College of Art and Design and holds her M.F.A. from Ohio University. In 2005, she was featured in the Emerging Artist Tent at the Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival.
Contrasting the physical, Phillip Chan shares his metaphysical paintings inferring the female form through his brushstrokes on canvas, engaging the subconscious through abstract images of mythological forms. From Akron, Ohio and a Professor of Art at Youngstown State University, Chan has been in numerous exhibitions since he graduated from University of California Berkeley in 1976 with a Masters of Fine Arts. Feminine Mystique invites the viewer to examine the intangible and tangible reflections of femininity, through the found objects of Nortz’s installation and Chan’s abstract paintings.
