Members' Preview: Petra Cortright: sapphire cinnamon viper fairy

Members are invited to join us for the first exhibition opening of the fall season, Petra Cortright's sapphire cinnamon viper fairy.

Petra makes art in traditional genres, such as landscape and portraiture, using tools, sources, formats, and platforms native to the age of the internet and digital technology.

During the early 2000s, she captured the attention of the art world with a series of self-portrait videos that demonstrated unconventional uses of standard special effects.

Petra also makes digital paintings printed on aluminum, linen, and paper. These paintings evoke the work of the Impressionists and other plein air painters, but she sources her imagery online, using the internet as a stand-in for nature.
