La pintora norteamericana Polly Shindler (New Haven, Connecticut, 1977) es uno de nuestros descubrimientos más recientes. Tras una breve participación en nuestro stand de la feria Estampa Madrid 2022, por fin presentamos su primera individual con nosotros en LA CRIPTA. En sus cuadros, explora los espacios habitados: interiores con muebles de diferentes épocas, tejidos con patrones de colores, suelos con diferentes texturas, etcétera; de tal manera que su atención se centra en la composición y el diseño tanto del espacio físico como del cuadro en sí.
“Mi interés en crear estas habitaciones crecióprimero a partir de una investigaciónsobrelasoledady elretiro,y luegohaciaun enfoque más estrechoen lacomposicióny conceptos más formales. Considero el color, el patrón y la textura en un contexto histórico arquitectónico y artístico al crear cada obra. Estas decisiones dictan la sensación y la atmósferadelespacio.

Polly Shindler
The North American painter Polly Shindler (New Haven, Connecticut, 1977) is one of our most recent discoveries. After a brief participation in our stand at Estampa Madrid 2022 art fair, we finally presented her first solo show with us at LA CRIPTA. In her paintings, she explores inhabited spaces: interiors with furniture from different periods, fabrics with colorful patterns, floors with different textures… focusing her attention on the design of both the physical space as well as that of the painting itself.
“My interest in creating these rooms grew first from an investigation of solitude and retreat, and then to a narrower focus on composition and more formal concepts. I consider color, pattern and texture in an architectural and art historical context whencreating each work. Thesedecisionsdictatethefeelingandatmosphereof thespace.

“Como resultado de la cuarentena, mis cuadros se han vuelto más íntimos, más personales y más domésticos. Siento que he prestado más atención a lo mundano, a la rutina de estar en casa y a desarrollar un nuevo horario”.
“As a result of quarantine, my paintings have become more intimate, more personal and more domestic. I feel I have been paying closer attention to the mundane, the routine of being home and developing a new schedule”.

POLLY SHINDLER
New Haven, 1977
Polly Shindler es una artista multidisciplinar estadounidense. Estudió en el Pratt Institute of Broklyn, donde se licenció en pintura en 2011. Desde que se graduó, ha expuesto en Estados Unidos, así como en Madrid y Londres
En sus cuadros, explora los espacios habitados: interiores con muebles de diferentes épocas, tejidos con patrones de colores, suelos con diferentes texturas, etcétera. Aquí los espacios están normalmente vacíos de gente y al mismo tiempo respiran una sensación de ocupación humana. En sus propias palabras “Cuando empiezo a pintar, mi atención se centra en el diseño tanto del espacio físico como del cuadro. Creo una situación en el lienzo usando pintura para transmitir la idea o símbolo de una habitación/escena/paisaje. Los espacios que represento son imaginarios y provienen de imágenes que se encuentran tanto en el mundo real como en el digital. Mi interés en crear estas habitaciones creció primero a partir de una investigación sobre la soledad y el retiro, y luego hacia un enfoque más estrecho en la composición y conceptos más formales. Considero el color, el patrón y la textura en un contexto histórico arquitectónico y artístico al crear cada obra Estas decisiones dictan la sensación y la atmósfera del espacio En mi trabajo hay una línea muy fina que se traza entre el realismo y el diseño”.
Polly Shindler is an American multidisciplinary artist. She studied at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, where she graduated with a degree in painting in 2011. Since graduating, she has exhibited in the United States, as well as in Madrid and London.
In her paintings, she explores inhabited spaces: interiors with furniture from different periods, fabrics with colorful patterns, floors with different textures. Here the spaces are usually empty of people and at the same time breathe a sense of human occupation. In her own words, “when I begin a painting, my attention is focused on the design of both the physical space as well as that of the painting. I create a situation on canvas by using paint to convey the idea or symbol of a room/scene/landscape. The spaces I depict are imagined and sourced from images found both in the real and digital world My interest in creating these rooms grew first from an investigation of solitude and retreat, and then to a narrower focus on composition and more formal concepts. I consider color, pattern and texture in an architectural and art historical context when creating each work. These decisions dictate the feeling and atmosphere of the space. In my work there is a fine line to be drawn between realism and design”.
