September 2007
Marta Whistler month-long solo exhibition of "Textural Paintings" at the
noted Baum School of Art, Allentown, PA was extremely well-attended and
well-received. Art critic Geoff Gehman, of the Allentown Morning Call
reviewed the exhibition:
PAINTINGS TEXTURED AND TEXTILED
"The Baum School of Art is an open house for paintings, textiles and
painted textiles. Its current exhibit of Marta Whistler's textured, textiled
abstract oils places all three birds in one cage.
Whistler's signature style is a lightly reliefed, biting grid woven with
metrical splotches of bright, ghostly colors. Tightly or loosely spaced,
troweled or fingernailed, her paintings are compellingly lit and
delightfully loomed. Looming is not the only illusion; one can also spot a
trellised chalkboard and a birch-bark lantern.
Every now and then Whistler changes the plot. One fairly dark, densely
circled, bubbling oil could be mistaken for peacocked wallpaper designed by
William Morris. Another work wriggles with translucent yellow-red serpentine
lines so delicately painted, they could have been dyed."

with pink shards and shooting perspective lines.
