Kristen Bartel strives to communicate self-identity and methods of human understanding by building on all types of math and physics systems using graphic imagery and abstract crystalline structures. Her abstract prints stress formal scientific principals and her interest in the absurdity of using these systems out of their contexts. She is inspired by work from Allan McCollum, Matthew Ritchie and Deborah Aschiem.

Kristen Bartel, an impressive and award winning new talent on the local art scene, exhibited widely in a number of juried shows across the country this year including Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Art Saint Louis selected her work for the 2009 Art St. Louis XXV exhibit. Kristen will soon be published by Hole Editions, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom. She anticipates earning her MFA in Printmaking from Southern Illinois University in 2010.

Exhibiting “Makeshift” through December! Open hours before yoga classes or by appointment. Marbles Yoga Studio and Art Gallery is located at 1905 Park Avenue in Lafayette Square. For additional information call 314.791.6466 or visit www.marblesyoga.com.
