Judith Kalina: New Paintings

September 19, 2008—October 16, 2008

Travelling with American and European circuses for almost a decade, Judith Kalina uses these experiences as a source for her art.  She considers her semi-abstract work to be autobiographical.  In addition to the circus imagery, she utilizes images from memory, especially those with a personal family content.  Each painting has its own narrative, and at times the exploration of a forgotten experience is reinvented in a way that allows the artist to explore the edge between myth and reality.  Kalina received her M.F.A. from Brooklyn College.  Her work is in various collections including The John & Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, Ringling College of Art and Design, and the Omega Institute.
