A bit about Kristian Battell….
Kristian Battell is an artist working and living in northern New Jersey, having recently completed a Master of Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She always considered herself more of a traditional printmaker, with a BFA in Printmaking from Purchase College, but the pandemic has shifted her practice to sculpture and installation. These sculptures focus on climate change and upcycling the materials that surround her in her everyday life. They depict her vision of future landscapes formed by the pressure of the buildup of waste and repercussions of a materialistic society. She has taught art at the Yard School of Art and the Montclair Art Museum and was the Education Coordinator for Newark Print Shop.

Estimadas familias del tercer, cuarto y quinto grado,

Permíntame que les comunique que el próximo martes, 19 de abril a las 7:00 de la tarde, organizaremos nuestra primera reunión conocida como: El Artista a través del Zoom. Los estudiantes del tercer, cuarto y quinto grado y sus familiares han sido invitados y podrán conocer a la artista Kristian Battell. La artista Battell tendrá la oportunidad de hablar sobre su estilo de arte y compartir con los estudiantes y sus familiares to que supone ser un o una artista.

El sábado 30 de abril, entre las 12 del mediodía y 4 de la tarde, los estudiantes y sus familiares, podrán asistir a la galería de arte local conocida como : Helados para socializar (Ice Cream Social). Durante la visita, los estudiantes y familiares, podrán contemplar algunas piezas de arte de la artista Battell y de los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria de Port Chester. Esta galería local está ubicada en el número 40 de la calle Merritt, segundo piso en Port Chester.

En cuanto a la artista Battell, podemos decir que trabaja y vive en el norte de Nueva Jersey. Acaba de terminar su masters en arte en la escuela de arte visuales de la ciudad de Nueva York. Nuestra artista siempre se ha considerado una artista del grabado tradicional con un bachillerato universitario realizado en la Universidad de Purchase. No obstante y como consecuencia de la reciente pandemia , la artista Battell tuvo que reinventarse y dedicarse a la instalación de esculturas. Estas esculturas están enfocadas en los cambios climáticos y en el reciclaje de materiales que nos rodea. Sus obras representan su visión a través de unos paisajes futuristas formados por la presión social sobre la expansión y acumulación de desperdicios y las repercusiones que esto supone en las sociedades materialistas. La artista Battell ha enseñado arte en Yard School of Art (Escuela de Arte de Yard) y en el museo de arte de Montclair y ha trabajado como coordinadora en educación en el taller de grabado de Newark.
