SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery is pleased to announce Incantations, an exhibition of Christie Blizard's most recent multi-paneled drawing installations. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in New York. In Incantations, Blizard explores the idea of becoming through transitory navigations of boundaries between high and low technology, spirituality, and fragmentation. Blizard's Incantations uses wall installations as montages. Different images are synthesized to create larger and more complex investigations of identity formation and personal movement. LED dots, cross-stitching, stickers, drawings of Bob Dylan, acetate tubes and self-portraits are some of the strategies the artist has used to form the composite. Christie Blizard lives and works in Lubbock, TX and has been featured in over 30 national and international exhibitions since 2003. She was a finalist for the New York, New York exhibition; included in the 24th Annual National Juried Exhibition juried by Dr. Peter Selz and Nancy Buchara at the Berkeley Art Center, and was featured in New American Paintings, South Edition, Volume 58.
