Arden Bendler Browning | All at Once


January 6th - February 10th, 2018
Opening Reception: January 6th, 6-9pm during the First Saturday Art Crawl Downtown


In the rear gallery, Tinney Contemporary will be showing new paintings by Philadelphia based artist Arden Bendler Browning.  Bendler Browning creates large abstract paintings referencing urban landscape and multiple perspectives.  She draws from  a wide range of sources as inspiration : the temporality of Impressionism, the gestural energy of Abstract Expressionism, and the combination of disparate forms from Postmodernism.

Travel - whether the everyday paths throughout her urban home base, or the moving landscape from a family road trip - has become the common thread throughout her work.   Her paintings reflect on a persistent tension between time and memory, the layering of images, and developing complex representations that allude to the impossibility of fully capturing, knowing, or reaching a destination. She merges seemingly disparate elements, jumbling and layering references of thousands of photographs and gestural studies of light, color, and movement, retaining a feeling of place and time and our movement through both.

Arden Bendler Browning lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. Her pieces are included in several public collections including the West Collection, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, PNC Tower, and numerous private collections. Bendler Browning's works have been featured in New American Paintings twice (2009 & 2013), Philadelphia Style Magazine, The Morning News, the artblog, polisblog, Philadelphia Inquirer, Icon Magazine, Atlanta Journal-Constutition, and Drawing Magazine, among others. She has been featured in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Arlington Arts Center, Swarthmore College, Delaware Contemporary, Kutztown University, and the James A. Michener Museum. A commissioned permanent work for the City of Philadelphia at the Philadelphia International Airport, awarded through a rigorous competition and selection process, was recently completed in early 2017. Bendler Browning holds a BFA in Art with honors from Carnegie Mellon University (1997), a Master of Studio Art with high distinctions from Sydney College of the Arts/University of Sydney (2000), and an MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art/Temple University (2003).
