Christine Wagner
June 1 - 23, 2012
A collection of Christine Wagner works was on display for the month of June, 2012 at Speakeasy Art as the first solo show in the new space. The opening reception was held on Friday, June 1st. To coincide with Boonton Main Street's June first Friday "en plein air" event, Main on Canvas, Christine painted live on site at Speakeasy Art on the night of the opening.
“The Work of Christine Wagner” illustrates her minimalist aesthetic and modern point of view regarding the abstract. Embracing negative space, focus on line and confident use of color are the embodiment of Wagner’s unique style. Her media consists of gouache, ink, charcoal, marker, and pencil combined to create bold, vibrant works of art. .Wagner has a background in fashion design with a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She has been showing consistently in northern New Jersey for the past three years; most recently in Montclair, West Orange, Newark, and Morristown. Wagner works as a freelance artist’s consultant and assistant and is also a co-founder and co-director of Guerilla Galleries.
