Sarasota News Leader December 27, 2013 The works of Gainesville artist Kathleen Wobie focus on two concurrent realities: the age of information overload and the resiliency and renewal of natural systems, the release points out. "My latest series of paintings expresses the feelings I have about the daily overload of information in our minds and the transformations we're inflicting on the environment," says Wobie in the release. "She expresses the surfeit of fragmentary data with an overlay of imagery — an onslaught of marks, which she transforms into suggestions of organic shapes," the release adds. Wobie is a founding member of the Melrose Bay Art Gallery, a signature member of Plein Air Florida, and a 10-year invitational painter at Epcot. She is represented by several galleries in north Florida, the release continues. Page 114 Fellowship, rounds out the show. "Her narrative paintings glow with active brushwork and layers of color achieving density and richness," the release adds. "Clark populates her ambiguous spaces with human and animal figures, surrounded by props — a table, trapeze, cups and other detritus." "I create my own strange space in my work," says Clark in the release. "It's a space of irony, where what's expected is not what actually occurs. In this world, the observed and the observer occupy the same space." Clark is on the faculty at Ringling College of Art and Design.
