HAVING THE COURAGE TO PUSH OUTSIDE HER COMFORT ZONE HAS LED CHRISTI BECKMANN'S ART IN A NEW DIRECTION. SUPPRESSED DREAMS OF SCULPTURAL WORK ARE NO MORE. FALL 2017 WAS FULL OF EXPLORATIONS INVOLVING PLASTER, WOOD, BLOW UP PLASTIC INSTALLATIONS AND PLEXIGLASS. PRINCIPLES OF MINIMALISM IN ABSTRACT ART SEEM TO BE A DIRECT FIT FOR BECKMANN. ART THAT HAS ITS OWN IDENTITY AND DOES NOT IMITATE REPRESENTATIONAL FORMS CREATES A DIFFERENT REALITY. CHRISTI BECKMANN WILL CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THE TRUTH, SIMPLICITY, AND ENERGY OF THIS DISCIPLINE AS 2018 PROGRESSES.
