Christine Mitchell: Realist and Abstract Paintings

Artist and Art Center student, Christine Mitchell, debuts a focused range of oil paintings in the Cleve Carney Gallery, from October 16 to January 29, 2012. With a selection of self-portraits, still-life paintings, and abstract compositions, the exhibition highlights Mitchell’s gradual transition between working with realistic representation to an increased passion for painting’s formal qualities. Mitchell’s interest in color, tone, shape, form and especially light is evident in all of her paintings. Christine Mitchell received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been a student at the Hyde Park Art Center since 2007.
