Jennifer Bartlett is an internationally recognized painter and printmaker. Her early work, which was strictly limited to grids, graphs, and dots, has evolved to include an expanded view of the possibilities of classifying and cataloging. Recently she has created a set of works linked by the image of a square and triangle immediately identifiable as a house. The silkscreen print House: Dots, Hatches is based on the 1998 oil painting of the same title.

The Smithsonian Associates published the fine-art print House: Dots, Hatches in collaboration with Jennifer Bartlett. The colorful silkscreen print presents a seemingly simple image of a red house camouflaged by brightly colored dots and hatches within a loose grid pattern, which creates a confetti-like screen. The intense primary colors and highly active patterns make this a dynamic and exciting image, which is reflective of Ms. Bartlett's interest in the way the mind organizes ideas.

Painting, sculpture.

Bartletts initiall tendency is towards neo-Post-Impressionism; subsequently she moved towards Conceptual concerns and adopted a more painterly approach in the mid-1980s. Now she combines elements of these two phases in her installations.

Themes: ethnological references, domestic or vernacular architecture and dreams of escape.
