Amy Kaufman: Recent Work

Traywick Contemporary is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Amy Kaufman, presented in the gallery space with an expanded selection of works viewable online.

Amy Kaufman has a career-long focus on pattern and repetition, working in a variety of media including paint, charcoal, pastel, silverpoint, and graphite, to transform fixed stripes, meandering lines, and accumulations of shapes into bold compositions that suggest space and movement.

With an ongoing immersion in the history of art, as well as a curiosity in the everyday, Kaufman translates careful observations of specific sources like Ottoman calligraphy or seemingly ordinary designs of tire treads, into complex works whose origins and references are often obscured.
