Karen Hackenberg February 7 to March 6th, 2012 Strand Beach-found detritus - PETE water bottles, plastic toy animals, and consumer product packages — are the subject and medium of Karen Hackenberg’s current artwork. Painting in oil and gouache, she meticulously crafts images of commercial beach flotsam. In the Watershed paintings, the artist presents humorous ironic images of our new post-consumer creatures of the sea. Castaways from grocery shelf life, synthetic products proudly and cheerily proclaim their natural rights as they strand and break apart on inter-tidal coasts. As gyres of garbage swirl in the Pacific, plastic becomes the new sand.
