Kathleen Kucka
Kathleen Kucka is an artist with a BFA from Cooper Union in New York City and an MFA from Hunter College. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Throughout her career, Kucka has pushed the boundaries of traditional painting, experimenting with unconventional techniques to create works that blur the line between two and three-dimensional art. Utilizing a variety of methods, including burning, cutting, and sewing, she creates works that focus on materiality and abstraction.
Kucka’s work is in private and public collections, including the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Florida; The Weatherspoon Art Museum; The Birmingham Museum of Art ; and Borusan Contemporary Collection, Istanbul, Turkey, among others.
Her work has been written about in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Art News, Two Coats of Paint, Gay City News, and Time Out, as well as other publications.
Residencies include the Bemis Foundation in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Vermont Studio Center.
Kucka’s work was included in the published book, New York Studio Conversations: Seventeen Women Talk about Art, by Stephanie Buhmann.
Kucka divides her time between Falls Village, CT, and New York City.
