BIOGRAPHY
Life for Cherundolo has been a study in the art of constant motion. Life adventures and art have taught her there are no limits and that labels limit experiences. With an over-flowing knowledge of technique and subject matter, Kristi surveyed the contemporary art scene, the world at large, and did what she has always done. She set out to forge a unique path with her own compass and tools.
Using inspiration from the emergence of Pop Surrealism and with support of techniques of the masters, Cherundolo applied her own vision to take her art to a unique place. She begins with the iconic images etched in her mind from old family photos. She then incorporates subject matter of the classic artists of the Renaissance and images from pop culture periodicals that attempt to invoke religious-like fervor for the sake of capitalism. Each style finds a home in layer upon layer of texture and perspective. As in life, Cherundolo employs what is useful from each artistic movement. To call out her influences is a task much easier accomplished by flipping through an art history book. The result is like a seductive fueled dream. Images in the foreground are innocently beautiful and somewhat unsettling. Structures are covered in tapestries of texture. The space flows and perverts the image to take the viewer to another place, not quite abstract yet not quite real.
Cherundolo continues to take her art in this coordinated direction because it is life as we know it. We live in the real, the virtual, and the fantasy world. It all takes us to a place where we can discover or lose ourselves. |
