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:20240601T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240601T143000 DTSTAMP:20240424T210255Z CREATED:20240424T210242Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240424T210255Z UID:10000092-1717234200-1717252200@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Stone Bridges in Watercolor DESCRIPTION:The counties surrounding Bedminster feature iconic stone bridges crossing streams that run into the Raritan and the Musconetcong.  Do you have a favorite bridge?  Learn to paint stone and mortar and surrounding landscape.  Techniques include using semi-opaque and granulating colors\, wet in wet\, negative painting\, spattering\, and painting trees and foliage.  Reference will be provided but you are welcome to paint from your own photos.  \nNovice to Advanced. \nTuition: Members $95/Non-Members $120 \nAbout the Instructor \nDoris Ettlinger: A graduate of RISD and the University of Wisconsin – Madison; teacher/coach of the Musconetcong Watercolor Group in Hampton NJ.
