Artaic Artist Project – Johanna Poethig

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Artaic is extremely excited to have helped artist Johanna Poethig realize her recent work of art. It’s great to be able to work with artists from all over the globe to spread the beauty and timelessness of mosaic art. The following is a statement from Johanna Poethig about her recent project for Skyline College in San Bruno, CA.

Skyline College Pillars of Educational Values:
“VISION TAPESTRY” and “MISSION TAPESTRY”

The “Vision” and “Mission” pillars are located on the first and second floor of the Student and Community Center of Skyline College in the Bay Area. As a gathering place for the Skyline community this artwork is designed to transform the space with a colorful tapestry of text taken from the Vision and Mission Statements of Skyline College. The visual intention of this artwork is to enliven the institutionally neutral hallways with rich color, strong design, and thematic content conceptually linking the two floors.

Remains of my 319A Studio

As an artist, it has always been extremely important to re-invent my art. This reinvention ultimately results in growth, whether it is a result of my own choosing or required because of being displaced from a studio.

Collaborating with Artaic has been another reinvention in my growth as an artist, allowing me to work with a new medium – mosaic tile. Over the past year, Artaic and I have collaborated on various projects that incorporate my artwork as mosaic using the company’s software and robotic techniques.

Recently we created a 24 square foot mosaic to display in the lobby of the Community Rowing boathouse in Brighton, MA, derived from my original 4” x 7” artwork. Similarly, in early May we fabricated a smaller framed mosaic for the Somerville Open Studios weekend. We anticipate installing more large-scale works in Boston area hotels and restaurants over the next quarter.

Artaic will be showcasing several of our Featured Artists in the Artisan area of the RDC exhibition hall. The booth will be displaying the works of Artaic featured artists who have worked closely with us to expand our creative output and stretch the bounds of the mosaic medium.
The Artists at RDC include:

Anna Comella

Comella is a Boston based artist whose work is strongly influenced by the location of her studio – in urban, gritty areas. Originally trained as a printmaker, she also produces works in collage, acrylic painting and mixed media. Her works are comprised of layers of color and abstract images that give the art a multi-dimensional feel and translates into unique, intricate mosaic designs.
