Voegtle's work has been displayed at numerous venues in the United States and Europe and incorporates in general not only paintings on silk, but also silk sculptures, drawings and wood carving.Steamboat Springs, CO (Vyala-Arts), November 9, 2005 -- An international juried exhibit of work created with fiber materials or using traditional fiber processes will be a highlight of the Christmas holiday season in Steamboat Springs. The Eleanor Bliss Center for the Arts at the Depot will feature Petra Voegtle (Vyala) paintings and silk sculptures have been shown in numerous venues in the United States and Europe. Juror of the show was Alice Zrebiec, Consulting Curator of Textile Art for the Denver Art Museum. The show will be open from Dec 2, 2005 through Jan 18, 2006.Voegtle's work shown at "Beyond Fibers: New Forms" is a fiber sculpture of bamboo. "Bamboo" belongs to a series which depicts symbols from the beautiful Hawaiian islands. The motive is widely used by artists. It is the fascination for its strength and fragility at the same time, its beauty and its secrets, its sound when the wind is moving through the leaves. http://www.angelfire.com/art2/vyala_arts/silkcarvings/bamboo.htmlThe piece incorporates a technique called "silk carving©," developed by the artist. The intent of this technique was to create a symbiosis between carving and fiber art. The surface of the fiber was transformed completely into a relief. The upper layer of the piece was made from one single piece of silk - the painting technique adds depth to the piece and makes the viewer believe to walk towards a bamboo forest while in fact it is only a piece of soft, sculptured silk. Voegtle who signs her work with "Vyala" which is an old sanskrit word, feels deeply influenced by Asian cultures due to many travels to southeast Asian countries. A vyala is a mythical catlike animal that can have different faces. The vyala motif is ubiquitous in medieval Indian temples. Symbolically it represents the struggle to subdue the passions. The vyala's body is always a rampant lion sometimes engaged in some combat with a warrior or female trying to tame it. A symbol for the struggle of life, bending sometimes but not breaking - just like the bamboo.THE GOLDEN PAINTBRUSH INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR SILK ART-- HABOTAI, Belgian Society for Silk painters, invites artists to participate in a juried Silk Art Competition with Exhibition.
