Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Sauerteig-Pilaar focuses on the female form as her muse\, mostly conjured from self-portraits\, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life\, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. \nSauerteig-Pilaar received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993\, and after living in New York City\, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums that led to the eclectic mixed media paper constructions she is most notably recognized for. Her work has been showcased and celebrated in galleries and museums across the country. She was awarded the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation residency in Jersey City\, NJ in 2022. \nClick Here to Read Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar’s Artist Statement URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/christine-sauerteig-pilaar-to-bare-witness/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/P-Tina-1-by-Christine-Sauerteig-Pilaar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240412T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240412T143000 DTSTAMP:20240313T160315Z CREATED:20240313T160259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T160315Z UID:10000075-1712914200-1712932200@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Pastels 101 Workshop DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to try pastels?
