Cross-PolliNATION an exhibition of Brittni Wood’s abstract paintings. Wood’s paintings are heavily influenced by social issues of today, with an emphasis on ideas of religion, sexuality, and gender roles. “My work is forced into a slue of contradictions,†says Wood. This battle of introspection and outward directness defines her most recent body of work. Wood’s paintings entertain opposite ends of the spectrum, from gestural and dirty to hard and graphic. This combination is what interests her most, while also inspiring a mixed media approach to her paintings.
Brittni Wood graduated from the University of North Florida with a BFA in Painting and Drawing and is the founder/creator of CreateJacksonville.com, a web site dedicated to promoting the arts in around Jacksonville. In addition, Wood is an art teacher at a local high school.
