Marta Whistler

Art Brokerage: Marta Whistler Dutch-American Artist: Born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and educated in Europe, Canada, Latin America and the United States, American artist Marta Whistler has developed her own unique style as a painter and sculptor. Her paintings feature bold color use combined with striking manipulation of surface texture and a powerful feeling of movement in her Abstract, Figurative, Symbolic and Sculpture art works. In her paintings she shows what one critic called her "complete mastery of line and form." Other critics have praised her ability "in all the styles in which she works, to combine beauty of color, line, and composition with subject matter that evokes emotion in the viewer," and state that Whistler "makes witty and bold use of color and form to open fresh vistas on gender and the body. These are warm, inviting, and challenging works." Her figurative and symbolic semi-abstract paintings are noted for daring colors and the prevailing theme of man's place in the universe. Whistler is concerned with the idea of the enslavement of man through forces he does not understand and is also a relief sculptor with Native American influences. Listings wanted.
