Bettina Blohm is a New York and Berlin-based painter.
In over 30 years, she has developed a vocabulary of shapes and gestures,
a limited set of tools with which she works, concentrating on pattern,
repetition, rhythm, scale, and color. Working in a predominantly
monochrome mode, with shifting lines of varies thickness, Blohm works
slowly to open up a kind of intermediate space. She builds her image
layer upon layer, often wiping off entire sections, to create interiors that
gradually impart a sense of urgent intensity beneath seemingly playful
exteriors.

Blohm’s most recent works on paper, completed in Berlin, hint at
geometry, albeit rendered with a free hand rather than precise tools.
Lines slip, and tilt or bend the space; the works have an appearance of
being in flux, of unstable geometry.
