Susan Kaprov Mixed Media

American
Susan Kaprov is an award-winning artist known for her multi-disciplinary practice which encompasses photography, painting, drawing, video animation, hand-colored pigment prints, and fired enamel on glass. She has completed major public art commissions in the US and abroad, dividing her work between major public projects and artworks developed in the solitude of the studio. Although Kaprov has degrees in biology and art history. She considers herself self-taught, her “teachers" being the world’s great museums, libraries, and public collections. She uses her studio a “laboratory” and her work as a series of “experiments” where self-imposed concepts and ideas are explored in great depth. By creating groups of related works in the same general idiom, she can work through their ramifications with unrestricted freedom. She states, "My voice is actually a collection of voices, all authentic and all residing within me. I try to express nature in all its wild, unpredictable energy and somehow merge this with the spiritual aspect of my own personal experience." She has completed major public art projects for such venues as the General Services Administration Art-in-Architecture Program for the new federal courthouse in Jacksonville, Fla; the Port Authority of New York & NJ; NASA; MetroTech Center NY; The City University of New York (CUNY); the City of Las Vegas, NV; and the Connecticut Commission on the Arts. She has lectured and conducted seminars at the Harvard University School of Design; the City University of New York; the Banff Center, Canada; Artists Talk on Art (ATOA); Vassar College, among others. Kaprov’s work is represented in the permanent collections of museums worldwide such as the Museum Boijmans-van Beuningan in Rotterdam; the Metropolitan Museum of Art NY; MoMA NY; the Library of Congress; the Yale University Art Gallery; the Corcoran Gallery of Art; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art which recently acquired sixteen of her groundbreaking photomontages. Articles and reviews of her work have appeared in the New York Times, Art News, Newsday, Art in America, and many publications. When not in the studio, Kaprov writes and performs monologues in various cafes in and around NYC.

At the Shore

At the Shore

By Thaddeus Radell

Located in Atlanta, GA

"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain." --Thaddeus Radell
