| 关于此艺术家 |
The focus of Cathie Bleck's work is her inward journey and explorations into the meaning of the interconnectedness of all living things. Steven Litt, art critic of the Plain Dealer explains, “She draws the viewer into fantastic worlds in which humans, animals, trees and plants are choreographed in energetic compositions filled with undulating curves and expressive spatial distortions. “
The artist works in the medium of scratchboard: a clay coated board where upon ink is applied and then scraped off with razor type tools, similar to etching tools. The textures are rich in detail with a keen sense of draftsmanship, not unlike that of a wood engraving.
Milton Glaser says of Bleck’s work, “The relationship of dark and light is the recurring theme in life and art. Cathie Bleck’s work embraces this theme and demonstrates the nature of this conversation in an elegant and expressive way.”
Inspirations include Bruegal, Heinrik Kley, Kathe Kollwitz, Rockwell Kent, Lynd Ward, Clifford Webb, Wanda Gag, Thomas Hart Benton, MC Escher. The constant chaos of life with my children, husband, pets and passions. My past childhood obsessions with nature and the dynamics of growing up in a very large family complete with a senile grandmother all provide me with a great deal of material for my present works. I have always been drawn into the stillness and peace of twilight. |

This piece was pivotal to the artist's progress in her medium as she explains, "Scratchboard art is typically done on a small scale. In order to work this large, I had custom boards made and have started working with liquid clay mixed with pigments. The clay provides me with an added element of texture and dimension. This approach provokes a tactile impulse. "
