Two Recognized Artists, Art Experts and Teachers Exhibit at LeWitt
Who: Pamela and Frank Bramble
What: Bramble and Bramble: Remnants, Glyphs and Palimpsests
Where: Celeste LeWitt Gallery, UConn Health Center, 263 Farmington Avenue, Farmington
When: January 21 through April 29, 2010 daily 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
About the Artists:
In their painting and mixed-media work, Pamela and Frank
Bramble independently examine the beauty of worn and time-altered
surfaces. Abstract in nature, Pamela Bramble’s abstract paintings
resonate with color and reveal layered spaces that give the
impression of continual evolution. Frank Bramble uses torn paper,
wood, twine, wire, thread and color to create works that are both
sculptural and painterly.
Pamela Bramble’s work is represented in public and private collections and has been reviewed by The New York Times, The Hartford Courant and Art New England. She received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Connecticut and a master’s in fine art from Columbia University in Chicago. She has taught a variety of art courses in the Department of Art and Art History at UConn since 1989 and has served as an invited juror and lecturer. She was presented with the President’s Gold Medallion for her paintings in the Emerging Artists exhibit at The Gregg Galleries in New York City, and was the recipient of a UConn research travel grant to study thirteenth and fourteenth century frescoes in Italy, a fundamental inspiration for her work.
Frank Bramble has been painting for more than 30 years. His work is in corporate, university, and private collections across the country. He earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Connecticut, a master’s in fine art from the University of Hartford and a master’s of arts in teaching from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. He has taught and been a guest lecturer and visiting artist at numerous schools and universities, most recently at Northwestern Connecticut Community College in Winsted, and at UConn.
The pieces at the Health Center represent some of the art exhibited in 2008 at UConn’s Homer Babbidge Library in Storrs. Parts of the original show have also been exhibited at UConn’s Torrington campus, and an expanded show is scheduled for Fairfield University’s Walsh Gallery at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts in June/July 2010 and for the Alexey von Schlippe Gallery of Art at UConn’s Avery Point campus in the spring of 2012.
The Brambles maintain studios in Connecticut and Vermont.
