Cornelia Baltes @ Chapter, Bristol

Cornelia Baltes’ brightly coloured paintings combine simplicity with humour and playfulness. Real-world observations are stripped back to their simplest form; creating new abstract patterns and rhythms. Their bold graphic qualities often spilling out, over the surface and on to the walls and surrounding architecture in which they inhabit.
Lightbox, is a a new site specific work – two giant cartoon hands emerge from either side of the building, reaching to clasp each other in a handshake. This ‘body’ of work will also extend to the caffi bar in June when Cornelia Baltes installs a new exhibition for our Art in the Bar programme.
