GALERIE CAMILLE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF TREADING LIGHTLY, A NEW VIRTUAL SOLO EXHIBITION OF THE RECENT WORK OF DETROIT BASED PAINTER AND EDUCATOR, ERIN BROTT-HOLTZMAN. IN THE MIDST OF THE HEAVINESS OF A SEEMINGLY POLARIZED NATION, WHERE WE OFTEN FIND OURSELVES OVERWHELMED BY THE NEWS AND OFTEN LIFE IN GENERAL, BROTT’S WORK ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE SOLACE IN NATURE BY EXPLORING THE HUMAN CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD THROUGH A COLLECTION OF LARGE INTRICATELY DETAILED, MEDITATIVE LANDSCAPES ON PAPER. AS AN ACTIVE OUTDOORS LOVER, SHE OFTEN PAINTS EN PLEIN AIR TO BE FULLY PRESENT AND ENGAGED WITH HER SURROUNDINGS. HER CANDY-LIKE COLORS HAVE A FAMILIAR FEEL LIKE THAT OF A TECHNI-COLOR NATURE SHOW FROM THE TIME OF FLOWER POWER AND PEACEFUL PROTESTS. BROTT FREQUENTLY WORKS WITH RE-PURPOSED MATERIALS AND SURFACES, OFTEN SOURCING THEM FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ARTS AND SCRAPS IN DETROIT. THESE INEFFABLE NATURE PAINTINGS WILL BE ON VIRTUAL VIEW FROM JUNE 12 THROUGH JULY 11, 2020. TREADING LIGHTLY WILL GO LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ON JUNE 12, 2020, 5 P.M. THE ARTIST TALK WILL BE HELD JUNE 26, 3:00 P.M. ON FACEBOOK LIVE AND IG TV AT @GALERIE_CAMILLE. FOLLOW ERIN BROTT-HOLTMAN AT @EBROTT AND ALSO WWW.ERINBROTT.COM.

“BY INVESTIGATING THE SMALLEST DETAILS THAT STRIKE ME IN A VAST ENVIRONMENT I AM ABLE TO NARROW DOWN WHAT COLORS, TEXTURES, AND MOVEMENTS SEEM TO EXPRESS THE MOST ACCURATE STORY ABOUT EACH PLACE AND TIME I DEPICT. THIS PROCESS GIVES ME GREAT COMFORT AND KEEPS ME ON MY TOES, TREADING LIGHTLY AS I APPRECIATE WHAT EXISTS AROUND ME.”
SEVERAL PIECES FROM THE TREADING LIGHTLY EXHIBIT WERE CREATED DURING THE EARLY PROGRESSION OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE EXHIBITION WILL GO TO ARTS & SCRAPS AND ARTS LEADERS OF COLOR EMERGENCY FUND. IN ADDITION TO HER ONGOING WORK AS AN ARTIST, ERIN HAS BACHELORS OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION FROM UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FLINT. SHE HAS TAUGHT IN DETROIT FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS.
