FOCUS ON THE ARTS

Works by Saj on view at gallery in Princeton

PRINCETON, N.J. - Christina Saj's current show at the Brodsky Gallery presents 20 large mixed media works on paper depicting paysages and personages from the finance and corporate culture of the present. These works serve to capture the state of the corporate consciousness in vivid, evocative, sometimes sardonic images.

The pictures are executed in a richly patterned and colorful vernacular. The artist employs repetitive patterns to emphasize the mechanical elements of our lives and activities, yet, her images are always pleasing and decorative. This exhibit celebrates the achievements and progress of the computer age and corporate culture, but it does not shy away from occasional wry comment on its excesses.

Ms. Saj lives and works in New Jersey. She regularly exhibits her work, and has shown throughout the United States and Canada. Her work may be found in numerous private and institutional collections. Ms. Saj's latest exhibit was at a group show at the American Bible Society titled "The World as Art: Contemporary Renderings" held on July 27-October 21 in Manhattan.

Ms. Saj received her Master of Fine Arts from the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts at Bard College in 1992. She holds an undergraduate degree from Sarah Lawrence College, and has studied in Florence, Italy, and at Wadham College, Oxford University, England. More information about her work can be found at http://www.artonline.net.

It is open to the public and admission is free of charge. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For further information call (609) 921-3600.
