Maria Creyts' Exhibition in the BNIM Architects Building
Maria Creyts shared her passion for unique mixtures of color, fabric and textures at BNIM last First Friday, December 3rd, 2010. In the heart of downtown Kansas City near the Power and Light District Ms. Creyts' photo friezes were hung in 10 window frames of one of the most prestigious art deco buildings in Kansas City. Ms Creyts' visual displays bring a whimsical yet harmonic adornment to an already beautiful building. Thinking of the daily work of architects Ms. Creyts imagined that they have a similar understanding and appreciation for her placement of fabrics and with various textures and colors beside one another.
Ms Creyts describes on her website, www.mariaurora.net, her reason for using fabrics in her art. She said,
"To me, fabric offers a ready palette of pattern and color. I could hunt for patterned papers and make pasted collages… yet the supply of fabrics is greater, more varied, and texture is an added bonus. With fabric, I can construct. In elementary school, book reports were my favorite assignment as I
could make papier mache sculptures to go along with any storyline (looking back, I realize I got quite carried away !). Fashioning things in three dimensions has always been a part of what I do.
The formal structural language for fabric is one I am acquainting myself with: corded shirring, shell hems and ruffles, darted and curve-cut flounces, smocked tucks, box pleats… In most every case I adapt the standard method to suit atypical purposes."
Maria Creyts graduated from Yale University School of Art with an Master of Fine Arts degree in painting and printmaking. She has also a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics and painting from the Kansas City Arts Institute. Ms. Creyts is a full time faculty member at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh as part of the online division. To learn more about her experience and exhibitions visit her website at www.mariaurora.net.
To see Maria Creyts' latest photo friezes and still life exhibit in person, stroll by the BNIM building on 14th and Baltimore in downtown Kansas City. The exhibition will be on display for the months of January and December.

Olja Ivanjicki died yesterday
"For me painting, and therefore any creative activity, is only a way not to come to the end of my life with an empty heart...I think it all started with russian science fiction stories that my father used to read to me instead of fairy tales when I was a little girl."-Olja Ivanjicki
She was one of Serbia's best and most accomplish painters, among many things she was the first to bring Pop Art to former Yugoslavia. She was also a dear friend to the family and will be greatly missed.
I believe her heart must be full.....
