Influenced by Sol LeWitt , who, as an artist of minimalism with the art-theoretical script, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967), gave important impulses for conceptual art , Bartlett initially worked meticulously on geometric paintings with abstract subjects and very different color palettes. She works with different painting grounds, e.g. B. sheet steel, mahogany and plywood.
