The works presented in this exhibition walk the delicate line between humankind’s ultimate place within a vast universe and the subtle, tiny influences that affect people’s everyday lives. It
mourns the wounded Earth, while underscoring the idea that humanity’s own stubbornness may be its eventual fate. Simultaneously loud, yet quiet, Little Green finds harmony in the two extremes. The forces at the heart of this exhibition are spirituality, the purpose in intangible things, our interconnectedness, the world we inhabit, and love.
Blatman is a visual artist working in a variety of media including installations, paintings, and drawings. Her work calls on poetry, science, and nature for its inspiration. Using nuanced, obsessive mark-making, she makes paintings, drawings, and mixed-media installations about the shifting climate that is unpredictable, yet captivating and beautiful. The works presented in this exhibition continue those explorations.
Blatman earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, a Post-Baccalaureate degree in painting from Brandeis University, and her Master of Fine Arts in painting from Boston University. She lives and works in Somerville, Massachusetts and is represented by Childs Gallery in Boston, MA. Blatman’s decades-long practice has earned her multiple awards, press, and honors across the art world and her work has been exhibited in numerous groups and solo exhibitions nationally.
