About The Artwork
Usually I finish a piece and it is almost like a high, a deep feeling of satisfaction and completion, a journey come full circle, from idea to object manifested. This piece was made for a local competition, and I have hopes it will do well. But something seemed lacking, until I found the title. As I went in on this with just the idea of representing the estate that is holding the competition, I shouldn't really be surprised that I came out feeling empty. In my mind, this was a glorious piece. But in reality, it was a bit too small (30” x 30”), I struggled with the circles and the straight lines. It was clearly a challenge for me. So in leaving all I knew of the piece to the side, and looking for a title, it was reborn. “Tilting the windmills” is a phrase that means to pursue an unrealistic, impractical, or even impossible goal. And for me, that’s what is has been about the entire time. Here’s to tilting your windmills, no matter what they are.

United States
Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar is a contemporary artist living and working in New Jersey. Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Christine focuses on the female form as her muse, mostly conjured from self-portraits, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. Christine received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993, and after living in New York City, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums having stretched the limits from making her own oil paints to using shellac and iron filings to transforming her work to the mixed media technique she has developed more recently. Her current process uses graphite and charcoal, along with ink and pure pigments brushed or scratched on, along with oil and acrylic paint.
