Indepth Arts News: "Amy Trachtenberg: The Weatherhead Series" 2004-07-09 until 2004-08-25 Brian Gross Fine Art San Francisco, CA, USA United States of America
Trachtenberg's larger canvases, measuring 90 by 60 inches, demonstrate subtle shadowing and veils of color that create both contemplative and complex paintings using abstracted imagery of the weatherhead. Working in a related, monochromatic palette, these paintings are stained as much as painted to create a quieter reflection on the impact of industry on nature.
Born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1955, Trachtenberg studied at California State University in Sonoma, where she received her BA. Trachtenberg continued her studies at the L'Ecole National Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris receiving her MFA in Painting and Drawing. Her work has been exhibited in numerous alternative spaces throughout San Francisco and she is the artist in residence at VALA (Visual Arts Literary Arts, San Francisco East Bay schools). She has also received grants and awards from the California Arts Council and the SF Arts Commission. Trachtenberg currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.
