Paint Party Girl: Art by Agnes Friedlander

Our featured artist today is Agnes Friedlander! Agnes is also known as the Paint Party Girl as she hosts and organizes “paint parties” throughout her local corner of Wisconsin. Groups booking a paint party get to paint original works with instruction from Agnes, over the course of an evening of drinks and laughs.

In her artistic practice, Agnes creates both abstract and figural works. Her figural paintings tend to be simplified and graphic in appearance, where the artist uses acrylic paint on canvas to render a variety of subjects in bright, friendly colour. I quite enjoy Agnes’ forays into abstraction, where she uses printmaking techniques on rice paper to render beautiful patterns in deep colour.

 

The artist also paints bombastic floral imagery, which we featured in our last article about Agnes. To see more of Agnes’ works, or to book a Paint Party for you and your friends, visit Agnes’ website at www.agnesfriedlander.com.
