Friends to sponsor Art Talk with artists Uli Brahmst and Ken Steinkamp "Questions & answers about methods, mediums, magic of ABSTRACT ART"

On Tuesday, March 18, 2014, the Friends of the East Greenwich Free Library will sponsor an Art Talk “Questions & answers about methods, mediums, magic of ABSTRACT ART”  featuring Uli Brahmst and Ken Steinkamp.    

Uli was the winner of the 2013 Winter’s Eve Juried Art Show at the East Greenwich Free Library in December. She is an accomplished artist, and is currently being shown in multiple galleries in New York, NY.  In 2013, Uli had showings at the Art League of Rhode Island: Annual Members’ Exhibition, The Galleries of the Providence Art Club, Providence, RI, and the ALRI, Heritage Art Gallery, in East Greenwich, RI.  In her artist’s statement, Uli describes her work as follows  “My iconography is as much inspired by what catches my attention in everyday life as by my imagination. This accounts for the free flow between representational and abstract work.”  To learn more about Uli, her art and accomplishments, visit her web site at www.ulibrahmst.com. 

Artist Ken Steinkamp has established a reputation for creating powerful works of abstract art that he describes as an exploration of his inner-self.   Art critic Brian Sherwin commented on Ken Steinkamps's artwork, stating, "If you have lived life... really lived it... you know that life is a buildup of layers. Memories are layers of life... experiences are layers of life. The various layers of life can be full of light or darkness -- all of it is beautiful. These layers define us. Steinkamp captures that in his body of work."  Ken Steinkamp has been involved with art exhibits at the Los Angeles County Art Museum, Northampton Center for the Arts, and the Hygienic Arts Center. Examples of his work can be found in collections throughout Europe and the United States. Visit www.kensteinkamp.com to learn more about Ken his art and accomplishments.
