Cindy Kane 1985 Original Painting on Plywood
By Cindy Kane
Located in Larchmont, NY
Cindy Kane (American, b. 1957)
Untitled, 1985
Oil on plywood
Sight: 31 1/2 x 28 1/2 in.
Framed: 39 3/4 x 36 x 2 in.
Signed lower right: KANE
Signed, titled, dated verso: Cindy Kane, Untitled, 1985
Cindy Kane (American, 1957-) grew up in Washington DC during the Vietnam War era, absorbing the period's powerful political climate. She is a self-taught artist whose multi media work is born out of a deep sense of connection to the political and environmental issues of our times.
Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come.
She draws on personal narrative and experience to create her paintings of maps, birds, toys, and artifacts from nature, often collaging bits of newspaper headlines, pieces of her children's homework, and pages of sheet music beneath layers of color and imagery.
In a review of her work, author and critic John Loughery wrote; "Kane leads us into a peculiar netherworld, a hard to place area that's both reassuringly ancient, and anxiously modern. This is a painter who is interested in the unconscious and the archetypal, and utilizes her own private, (but not inaccessible) vocabulary and imagery."
In a submission to AskART, Diana Wilson...
