“The concept of this body of work is twofold: the wonder of our world, and the power of one person to change that world” -- Bobbie Moline-Kramer
Bobbie Moline-Kramer’s latest series The Power of One is an opus that examines time, space and destiny using constellations as a touchstone. Employing 16th-century glazing and gilding techniques, Moline-Kramer incises unique sky charts particular to each heroic figure with the same precision that antique celestial maps were prepared and painted by Italian and Dutch Renaissance masters. Each painting is a portrait of individuals selected by the artist for their courage to make a difference in the world. The astrological profiles of these various individuals are intertwined with the position of the stars at the time they were born or died (or in the case of a portrait of Italo Calvino, both birth and death are linked together). However, Moline-Kramer does not just linger in the past but creates an adjacent installation that employs cutting edge technology to deconstruct her paintings into 3-D computer printed layers. Each layer of this sculpure is suspended from the ceiling and appears as ephemeral, variously hued flakes of sky floating down to earth. This paradoxical synergy combines facts with mysticism, mythology with mathematics, and traditional Renaissance technique with 21st century computer printing technology renders this exhibition not only about time and space but most importantly, about being. In the artist’s own words: “The concept of this body of work is twofold: the wonder of our world, and the power of one person to change that world”
