| 关于此艺术家 |
Born and educated in Switzerland, Astrid Fitzgerald has been living and working in the United States since 1961. Her work has been shown in New York, Europe and Asia in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and is represented in major corporate, museum and private collections. Recent shows include Pearl Arts Gallery, Stone Ridge, NY, 2008, LoRiver Gallery, Beacon, NY in 2005, Galerie Raubach, St. Gallen, Switzerland in 2004, Marist College, Poughkeepsie, NY in 2003, and Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts Gallery at SUNY Stone Ridge, NY in 2000. Fitzgerald’s installation Amish Quilts was chosen by the Jury of the Artcanal in Le Landeron, Switzerland to represent the United States during expo02.
Fitzgerald calls her recent work Cosmic Measures - a phrase that expresses her continuing search for principles hidden beneath the surfaces of nature. Early on she worked with the fundamental laws of geometric form, followed by an immersion into philosophical geometry, which included the Golden Mean proportions - a universal principle underlying nature from the DNA-spiral to our galaxy. These harmonious proportions have fascinated philosophers for thousands of years and have been celebrated by the architects of the pyramids, cathedrals and the masters of the Renaissance.
The constructions and pastels have emerged from an inner experience of the laws of the Golden Mean proportions, of which Robert Lawlor, author of Sacred Geometry, has said, “In a sense, the Golden Proportion can be considered as supra-rational or transcendent. It is actually the first issue of Oneness, the only possible creative duality within Unity.”
