Bobbie Moline-Kramer

The Power of one

Castello 925 presents an exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Bobbie Moline-Kramer opening 20 April and running through 10 July, 2022.

California-based artist Bobbie Moline-Kramer's exhibition The Power of One is an installation that spans both time and space using the study of constellations as a touchstone. The astrological profiles of various heroic individuals were selected because of their courage to make a difference in the world. Using 16th-century glazing and gilding techniques, Moline-Kramer incises unique sky charts particular to each leader with the same precision that antique celestial maps were prepared and painted by Italian and Dutch Renaissance masters.

Another Moline-Kramer painting series depicts a family tree of birds representing the artist's own ancestry and embedded history. However, Moline-Kramer does not just linger in the past but creates an adjacent installation that employs cutting edge technology to deconstruct her paintings into 3-D computer printed layers.

Each layer of this installation is suspended from the ceiling and appears as ephemeral, variously hued flakes of sky floating down to earth. This paradoxical synergy combines facts with mysticism, mythology with mathematics, and traditional Renaissance technique with 21st century computer printing technology renders this exhibition not only about time and space but most importantly, about being. In the artist's own words: "The concept of this body of work is twofold: the wonder of our world, and the power of one person to change that world.”
