KPCÂ’s Artstage is pleased, in a partnership with Kirkland Arts Center, to present new abstract oil paintings by Joan Wrench.

Joan Wrench is a Bellevue resident. She has taken art classes at Kirkland Arts Center, Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle and Bellevue Art Museum, studying painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking. She has exhibited her work at the Kirkland Arts Center Gallery.

In her latest work, Wrench investigates contemporary themes exploring how we interact with others and how our individual actions affect the greater whole. Using spires and ancient ruins as a departure point, Wrench builds layers in paint and paper collage to create sweeping dramatic fields of color that interact with ghost-like forms. Wrench’s art combines a variety of materials – oil paint, water-based inks, pencil, monotype, collage, etc. – to create distinctly personal work that builds on the traditions of the Northwest Masters.
