Theresa Karpinski, based in Brattleboro, Vermont, makes three dimensional collages using multitudes of minute objects meticulously painted with garish colors and arranged into bazaar and sometimes subversive scenes. Blending lightheartedness and seriousness is how Karpinski views life as well as her process of creating. In artworks such as “Jungle Pitch”, a blue eyed long haired man with voluptuous red lips and holding a glass of wine with hands painted in red nail polish, stares down the viewer. This subject of portraiture is surrounded by a menagerie of animals, buildings, and a tree bare of its leaves. The animals include a reindeer, five cats, one adorned with wings, another with a cross, and another with a Santa Claus hat, along with a dog in a baker’s hat, an owl, a pheasant, a chipmunk and a smiling snake. The scene shows a welcome mat, a colonial house, the United States capitol building flying a flag with only stripes, wrapped gifts, a Christmas tree and a church. Karpinski is newly represented by Canal Street Art Gallery.
