Exhibition Dates: June 9, 2005 - May 31, 2006
Born and educated in Switzerland, Astrid Fitzgerald
has been living and working in the United States since
1961. Her work has been shown in New York, Europe and
Asia in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and is
represented in major corporate, museum and private collections.
Recent shows include LoRiver Gallery, Beacon, NY in
2005, Galerie Raubach, St. Gallen, Switzerland in 2004,
Marist College, Poughkeepsie, NY in 2003, and Muroff-Kotler
Visual Arts Gallery at SUNY Stone Ridge, NY in 2000.
Fitzgerald’s installation Amish Quilts
was chosen by the Jury of the Artcanal in Le
Landeron, Switzerland to represent the United States
during expo02.
Fitzgerald calls her recent work Cosmic Measures
- a phrase that expresses her continuing search for
principles hidden beneath the surfaces of nature. Early
on she worked with the fundamental laws of geometric
form, followed by an immersion into philosophical geometry,
which included the Golden Mean proportions - a universal
principle underlying nature from the DNA-spiral to our
galaxy. These harmonious proportions have fascinated
philosophers for thousands of years and have been celebrated
by the architects of the pyramids, cathedrals and the
masters of the Renaissance.
The constructions and pastels have emerged from an inner
experience of the laws of the Golden Mean proportions,
of which Robert Lawlor, author of Sacred Geometry, has
said, “In a sense, the Golden Proportion can be
considered as supra-rational or transcendent. It is
actually the first issue of Oneness, the only possible
creative duality within Unity.”
