Ahead of the Storm, Christie Scheele, pastel on paper, 36" x
22", 2001
Chichester landscape artist Christie Scheele has
a knack for breaking down a scene and reducing it to its bare essentials.
Scheele’s pastels minimize visual clutter, employing minimalistic
elements to create quiet, dreamy works. And while her paintings are not
always literal representations, everything Scheele paints could exist
in nature, and is a blend of expressive and descriptive styles that is
more concerned with evoking a sense of place than in creating formal landscapes.
A major solo exhibition of over 45 works by Scheele, “Working the
Edge,” will run through November 30 at Albert Shahinian Fine Arts
in Poughkeepsie. For more information, call 454-0522.
