Jackie Shatz Sculptures

Jackie Shatz is a sculptor, painter, teacher and lecturer. She attended Bennington College and earned a BFA degree in painting (magna cum laude) and an MFA degree in sculpture, both from Hunter College. Shatz feels that her recent pieces fall somewhere between painting and sculpture, stillness and movement and figurative and abstract. The dimensions of her sculptures allow one to look into an intimate space and she believes they owe a debt to the scale and narratives of Medieval art. Shatz's work has been displayed in numerous solo and group shows, including exhibitions at the June Kelly, Monique Knowlton and Kouros galleries, in New York City. She has also curated and organized countless exhibitions, including “CollageLogic," which was last presented in 2012, at Hampden Gallery, at UMass, in Amherst. Shatz is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Fellowship, a Craft Alliance New Techniques grant and several NYFA SOS grants. She has been artist-in-residence at the Kohler Arts/Industry program, where she created a series of music box sculptures and has collaborated on sound and sculptural installations for Glyndor Gallery, at Wave Hill and on Governors Island. Shatz has taught and lectured at many places, including at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York City. Her work has been reviewed by The New York Times, The New York Daily News and The Village Voice, among others.
