Kathleen Kucka, (born in Hartford, Connecticut) is an American painter.
Education
Kucka earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1984, at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York. In 1994 she earned her Master of Fine Arts at the Hunter College, also New York.
Work
Benjamin Genocchio from the New York Times, describes Kucka's work as resembling microscopic images of human tissue, "a welcome inclusion in a show that is long on ideas and rather short on artistic flair. Ms. Kucka reminds us that serious, concept-based art can also be pleasurable to view."[1] He was referring to the group exposition "I Dream of Genomes" in the Islip Art Museum in 2008.
In 2011 Stephanie Buhmann described Kucka's work as inspired by nature, with an attention on geometry, inspired by 20th-century and contemporary abstraction. It "leaves us guessing, wondering if we are witnessing a scene documented through a microscope or captured from an aerial view... we find ourselves reminded of the interrelations between all things, be they of a natural or manmade origin."[2]
Kucka herself describes her work[3] as a “collage done with paint” that creates a “dance of movement and patterns.”
