Fallen Off The Edge Canvas

NatKalbach_fallenoff01

 

This is my newest finished canvas – view from Jersey City towards New York City. As a friend asked me “What happened to Jersey City, did it fall of the Edge” – I felt “Fallen Off The Edge” is an appropriate title ;)

NatKalbach_fallenoff02

 

This Canvas also pushed me almost OVER the edge. I had a hard time with the colors and the triangle shapes versus the stripe shape…I am now happy but boy it was quite a back and forth here.

I am very happy with the texture and the coolest thing is when the light shines on it, it really glows.

I worked with lots of different acrylic paint media – here is a list for those of you interested

    Nat, I loved seeing this evolve on IG.
    It is the best thing EVER that I’ve seen of yours.
    It’s truly stunning.
    I’d be proud to pay & hang that piece of art in my home.
    Love it!! x

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…you’ve crossed the line from scrapbooking to paper crafts to mixed media to art. Not to offend any one with the definition of “art”, but this is ART. Love it Nat.

Powerhouse Canvas

The last weekend I buried myself into the studio to work on this canvas – and it made me pretty happy – I think you might see I was inspired by all the wonderful colors I had seen during my travels.

NatKalbach_Powerhouse01

 

The building is an old powerhouse here in Jersey City, which is boarded up and there is work going on there- so we will see . I do love this building – I find it fascinating and since I am a big fan of the Tate Modern in London, which is housed in an old power station – I can see an art gallery in here, art studios and some open public space…but probably it will be shops and lofts or a mall – who knows.

NatKalbach_Powerhouse02

 

I played with all kinds of acrylic media and techniques-I was in my happy happy place :)

Here are some photos I took during the process

    You gave the old powerhouse building a life of its own. Amazing color and your artistic style feels like that building is old.
    Can’t wait to see what you will do with the building when it is finished and in “working” condition.
    Your work is powerful.

    Yes, I can DEFINITELY see the inspiration from your far east trip in this beautiful canvas, Nat!! And I have never wanted to take a trip to Jersey City before you moved there, but you have given me the urge to do a walk-about and see it like you do!!!

Everything is Gentrified Canvas

NatKalbach_EverythingisGentrified01

 

I was working on this canvas for quite a while- I had a love-hate relation ship with it while I was working on it- it was a very demanding project.

The street is partly what you see when you go out on my street, a neighborhood in Jersey City which years ago was a totally different neighborhood. Jersey City has not the best reputation …which reminds me on my old hood in Hamburg, Germany. When I  moved there my family would call me every time something bad was shown about it on the news (about every other day) worried if I was ok. Today it is a thriving and gentrified area, unfortunately driving the “old” people out of the neighborhood as they cannot afford it anymore. People like me are part of the problem. Jersey City reminds me a lot of my old hood how it was 15-20 years ago.

I think about these things a lot when I do my art – I love to create projects showing houses or neighborhoods. Things change…for the better and for the worse- there is no black and white.

Deep eh? Oh well…LOL – take a closer look then at the canvas ;)

NatKalbach_EverythingisGentrified02

 

I want to create a couple more of those canvases in a series.

I mostly worked with Liquitex Acrylic Media and touched it up here and there with Derwent Artbars. Here is a small list of come of the supplies I used for this Mixed Media Canvas.

I tried to tackle all…but… – I know some of you are waiting for emails and I also have to take care of the giveaway winners for CJS- it will all come- no worries but I am happy for your understanding that sometimes life  or the flu just gets in the way :)

Fragmented J.C. Canvas

DefragmentedJC

The last couple weeks I was working on a new 27.5×31.5 inches canvas. I had back in Hamburg already created a Hamburg themed one for the other side (below) and brought an identical canvas so that I could do a Jersey City Theme.

I  cannot wait to hang the second canvas and I hope it will be looking as good up there as the other one. Lady Liberty btw ….I know you think NYC, right? pffff- no way…she is standing with her back to Jersey City…meaning she is in OUR yard…not NYC’s yard ;)

I am up for another canvas this size…but I might have to rethink the wall spacing problem soon ;)

Have a wonderful day

Winding Down: My Top Ten Projects of 2013

TopTenProjects

It has become a tradition for me to wind down the year on my blog by posting some Top Ten Lists before the year ends. It makes me go back and look at what I have done and accomplished and it also makes me dwell in memories. Too often we forget about the things we did and accomplished throughout the year- often just bashing ourselves for not fulfilling all the wonderful new year’s resolutions from last year.  Maybe this makes you wanna do it too – if so – share :)

This was one of the canvases I created for my first exhibition that happened this year – and it was the first of a couple canvases I sold. I miss this piece but I am happy it is in good hands. It shows a part of a street I lived for many years- the beautiful house now torn down and vanished.

This is the first canvas I created in our new home – an old pencil factory . I love the history of the place we moved to and this canvas makes me happy.

I love the depth of this canvas- which had a wonderful glass effect – and love the saying :) The fact that my Elephant Stencil for StencilGirl Products is on there too – is making me even more happy. Not in my possession anymore- it is also a sold treasure.

Another sold treasure…I realize it hurts a bit that my most fave canvases are actually gone…oh well- LOL. This shows the water tower in my old neighborhood in Hamburg. It is now a hotel and it was so awesome to stay in the top of the tower a couple weeks ago when we visited family and friends in Germany. ( we always wanted to do that- but you just do not stay in a hotel where you live ;) )

This  Canvas was different for me but I loved it so much. Unfortunately I couldn’t bring it over the pond in the move- it would have not survived -so I gave it to one of my best friends, knowing she loved it.

This 70x80cm (27.5×31.5 inches) hangs now in our new home in J.C. over the one side of the fireplace.It is a great color drop in our apartment.  It is the biggest surface I have worked on so far and I enjoyed the process so much. I also learned a lot about mixing colors.

Another Canvas that got sold – I love the colors in this and it has a lot of texture. It also has a lot of hidden meaning – and I am happy it hangs now in my old law office – it is a good piece for that office.

I did not do that many Scrapbooking Layouts in 2014 – mainly canvases followed by art journal pages. This layout of the very few I made, must be my fave as I love the texture and the grunginess and well…the goofy picture of Anna and me- LOL.

This artjournal page was so much fun to do and I love how everything comes together. I used my Crackle Stencil for StencilGirl Products with it and that was so cool.

Another art journal page – I love the color combination and I do heart this.

It is interesting for me to see that I apparently did mostly canvases and art journaling- while in 2012 I did all kinds of projects. I also find my voice coming out more in my work – and I think part of it has to do with the fact that I could use my own product designs in my work more often. Color wise I think, I got a bit more bold- I stepped away from my usual teal but red, yellow and orange are VERY prominent again. I would also say on top of the already textured work I loved and did- I added an effort on creating more layers and dimension. It was pretty cool to look through my work and then compare what I liked most from what I did 2013 – it is a good way to realize changes and patterns.

Which of my posted projects do you like the best?

Huge hugs

Nat

    Nat, You are the queen of layering, that’s for sure! They are all stunning but if I had to pick a fave…it would be the Hotel in Hamburg. Whenever I see a piece of your work, I am always in awe and left wondering, “How’d she do that?” Cheers to a creative 2014!

    Wow, Nathalie! Your artwork is amazing! I just now started following your blog–after signing up for CJS 2014. My favorite piece is the first one of your old house–it is just very soft and sort of dream-like. It LOOKS like a memory, if that makes sense. I also love the second one–I want to live in the Ticonderoga pencil factory too!!! The quote on the third one is fabulous and makes me laugh. Hugs!
