Grand Central Atelier Patreon - Colleen Barry Drawing a closer look

科琳將討論從文藝復興到當代藝術(shù)界具象繪畫的審美演變，以及藝術(shù)中線性和色調(diào)傾向之間的明顯差異（英文講座）。她將談到藝術(shù)家如何學習西方傳統(tǒng)的繪畫，以及某些材料如何幫助藝術(shù)家形成他們獨特的審美氣質(zhì)。從古代洞穴壁畫到杰夫·昆斯，科琳的總體視野涵蓋了繪畫在概念和物質(zhì)性方面的所有方面。

科琳的畫作將歐洲大師的嚴謹和精致與當代藝術(shù)的力量相結(jié)合。她受到米開朗基羅和凱綏·柯勒惠支以及安迪·沃霍爾肖像的影響。她的主題包括家人、朋友、同行藝術(shù)家和她的兩個孩子。科琳一生都是紐約人，在 21 世紀初的音樂舞臺上長大，與 Strokes 樂隊一起在全球巡演。21 歲時，她為紐約和好萊塢的電影公司創(chuàng)作畫作；她的作品出現(xiàn)在 Lil Kim 和 Die Romantik 等著名電影和音樂視頻中。后來，她繼續(xù)在 Water Street Atelier 師從 Jacob Collins。Colleen 獲得過無數(shù)的資助和獎項，她的作品被北美和歐洲的重要收藏，包括新塞勒姆藝術(shù)博物館。2011 年，她獲得了附屬獎學金，與丈夫 Will St. John 一起在羅馬的美國學院居住。Colleen 在布魯克林東威廉斯堡的工作室里作畫。她目前是紐約長島市中央大畫室的繪畫總監(jiān)。

Colleen will discuss the aesthetic evolution of figurative drawing spanning from the Renaissance to the Contemporary art scene, and the distinct differences between the linear and tonal tendencies in art. She will touch upon how artists learn to draw in the western tradition and how certain materials have aided artists given their particular aesthetic temperaments. From ancient cave drawings to Jeff Koons, Colleen's overarching vision encompasses all aspects of drawing in concept and materiality.

Colleen’s paintings combine the rigor and sophistication of European Masters with the potency of Contemporary Art. Her influences range from Michelangelo and Kathe Kollwitz to the portraits of Andy Warhol. Her subjects include family members, friends, fellow artists, and her two children. A lifetime New Yorker, Colleen grew up immersed in the music scene of the early 2000s, touring globally with the Strokes. At 21 she created paintings for film companies in New York and Hollywood; her work appeared in major motion pictures and music videos by the likes of Lil Kim and the Die Romantik. She would later go on to apprentice with Jacob Collins at the Water Street Atelier. Colleen has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards and her work is in important collections in North America and Europe including the New Salem Museum of Art. In 2011 she received an Affiliate Fellowship to reside at the American Academy in Rome with her husband, Will St. John. Colleen paints out of her studio in East Williamsburg Brooklyn. She is currently the Director of Drawing at the Grand Central Atelier in Long Island City, New York.
