This summer, Muhlenberg College’s Martin Art Gallery will feature the work of New York contemporary artist Jennifer Burbank. “Jennifer Burbank: New Paintings” will run June 15-August 13, 2004 in the Gallery, Baker Center for the Arts. A gallery reception and Meet the Artist will be held Friday, June 18, 6-8 p.m. Admission to the gallery and reception is free. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., and Sundays, 12 noon-10 p.m.
A graduate of the prestigious Pratt Institute, Jennifer Burbank creates paintings and works on paper. Her work addresses the beauty and incongruous nature of New York City and its environs through images of historic buildings, bridges and street scenes juxtaposed with luscious non-objective elements in the tradition of Mark Rothko and Joan Mitchell. Through her large-scale canvases, Burbank unites the historic images of New York's boroughs, once farmland, with images of the fast paced city in beautiful harmony. The exhibition is guest curated by art historian and museum curator, Jennifer Olson Rudenko of Tacoma County College in Tacoma, Wash., with an exhibition catalogue available to the public.
