KAREN KUNC

Carol Summers - woodcuts

Karen Kunc’s new body of work represents her ongoing creation of a visual iconography that is suggestive of nature and derived from travel experiences and her own rural environment in Nebraska. The artist creates ambiguous spatial illusions by juxtaposing elements of shape and color and by creating a relationship between the edges of the paper and the breaking or interruption of the image. In Kunc’s work these formal ideas become symbolic abstractions, suggestive of landscape, unusual structures, or plant forms.

Karen Kunc’s woodcuts and etchings address the ideas of the eternal forces that shape the natural world as a means to capture a moment, the alignment of chance encounters, the immeasurability of time and distance, and the invisible physical forces at work. She has put these notions into iconic images of creation, preservation, and allusions to human myth and metaphor.

Karen Kunc is a Nebraska native, and currently the Cather Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, where she has taught since 1983. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and has taught numerous printmaking workshops around the world.
