NADIA STIEGLITZ BIOGRAPHY

Nadia Stieglitz is a French-born ceramicist based in Charleston, South Carolina, specializing in organic abstract sculpture. With training in painting, photography, and graphic design, she began her self-taught venture into the three-dimensional world of clay in 2019. This journey has allowed her to explore her long-held sensibility for natural textures and anthropomorphic shapes, capturing a host of intricacies at the intersection of art, nature, and the human form. Nadia’s work is rooted in hand building, using slabs and coils to construct her pieces and found objects such as rocks, balloons and custom-made clay forms to guide their construction. Often, her process starts by using a “mother” ceramic on which she molds a shape and integrates it into a new piece. In this way, all of her ceramics share a common DNA. Her spontaneous and intuitive building process combined with the use of simple slip for decoration helps to create an earthy feel to each object that distinguishes her artistic style. By allowing her work to be guided by inspiration as it comes—not knowing what she wants to create upfront—each of her pieces is unique. In 2021, Nadia became a full-time resident at The Studio Union in North Charleston and was invited by The Bibelot Home to show her work in her first public exhibit at the Charleston’s Dewberry Hotel. She also trained with UK-based artists James Oughtibrige and Rebecca Appleby at The Studio Lounge in Holmfirth. In February 2022, her pieces were featured in Art Seen magazine and were displayed at REDUX, a contemporary art center in Charleston. This spring, she will be an Emerging Artist at Artisphere in Greenville, SC and will show her work at Artsfield, an annual art competition in Lake City, SC. Later this year, she will be a 2022 Visiting Artist at the Gibbes Museum of Art, a program that features eight artists annually whose work contributes to a new understanding of art in the American South. She will also be a Summer Resident at the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Newcastle, Maine.

ALAN TAYLOR JEFFRIES BIOGRAPHY

An Ohio native and graduate of Ohio University, Alan Taylor Jeffries currently resides in West Virginia. He is a self-taught abstract/nonrepresentational painter working in both oil and acrylic, and was invited to be one of The George Gallery’s original artists. He is also represented by three additional galleries and his work can be found in private and corporate collections in the US and Europe.

Jeffries says of his work, “Long before I began painting, abstract has always been my favorite style, particularly the work of first-generation Abstract Expressionists like De Kooning and Kline, so it was natural for me to study and emulate their work. A leading critic/art theorist of that time discarded notions that a painting must ‘mean’ something or ‘be’ anything other than gestures and colors on a surface and that has always been a guiding principle for me. My paintings are simply the application of paint on canvas intended to evoke a purely aesthetic response.”

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE

Yvonne Robert

The often bright and gestural paintings of Yvonne Robert result from an intuitive approach to color and composition. Her spontaneity of conception and dynamic gesture is void of complex references and their associated meanings. Instead she is steadfast in her commitment to universal concepts of form, mass, proportion, rhythm and structure, which constitute a common thread in her work. Above all, she is motivated by color, and her use of it is practiced and studied. Art, other artists and her environment are all constant sources of inspiration. Robert grew up in a family of artists and found home-life aesthetically stimulating and informative. She remembers her parents often discussing the notions of color and form, and she was fascinated by the patterns and motifs of the 1960’s that filled her home. These early influences perhaps motivated Robert to pursue a career initially in graphic design and subsequently in fine art, the origins of which certain motifs in her current work could possibly be traced. Importantly, however, when Robert observes her environment, she perceives color first and foremost – a person’s hair in combination with the color of their skin and their scarf, an old bike that someone has painted in a creamy light grey with a new brown leather seat; sheep in the pastures, the lake, the sky, the mountains; how different the shades of blue are that interplay with each other in the sky, and how endless the combinations seem. Yvonne Robert, born1972, grew up in Germany and has now lived in Zurich for several years. She has exhibited internationally in New York, Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, London, Paris, Berlin and Zurich. Her work is held in private collections in the US, Spain, UK, France, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
