ABOUT
Christine Romanell’s art practice explores the infinite through intricate, ever-expanding circular patterns. Inspired by cosmology and sacred geometry, her work represents the relationship between order and the limitless expanse. She translates digital drawings into sculptures and paintings using techniques like laser-cutting and 3D printing. Colorful gradients guide viewers through layered forms, hinting at the mysteries beyond. Her recent museum exhibitions include the immersive installation Sacred Transition at the Montclair Art Museum and the augmented reality experience Cosmic Crossing at the Hunterdon Art Museum.
In addition to her studio practice, Romanell is a dedicated arts advocate and community builder in New Jersey. She is the co-founder of 356 Art Gang and 1-7Five Paterson Ave—a cooperative artist studio space in Little Falls, NJ—and co-founder of the Garden State Art Guide and Garden State Art Weekend. Her work has been featured on the Smithsonian Channel and discussed in Hyperallergic, Juxtapoz, MIT Technology Review, White Hot Magazine, and Art and Cake.
A recipient of an NEA grant through Chashama in NYC and a 2022 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, her work is held in the public collections of Google, the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, and Memorial Sloan Kettering, as well as the private collection of the late Pat Bell alongside Tom Nussbaum and Willie Cole. She holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (NYC) and an MFA from Montclair State University (Montclair, NJ).
