STRIKE, with work by Anna Hepler, Jeffrey Katz and Kevin Umaña. Bringing the three artists together was an intuitive process. Grounded in abstraction, each artist works across media exploring and refining ideas that ricochet back and forth between sculpture/prints, paintings/ceramics, and drawings/prints.
Anna Hepler (Greenfield, MA) was named the USA BARR Fellow through the US Artists Foundation. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, NM, the Portland Museum of Art, to name a few. Her work is included in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Art, D.C, Tate Gallery, London, and the Portland Museum of Art, ME.
Jeffrey Katz (Boston/Truro, MA) is a principal at C&J Katz Studio in Boston, MA. Katz studied architecture at Carnegie Mellon and Harvard, and is a Senior Critic in the Interior Architecture Dept. at Rhode Island School of Design. His most recent work was completed in a series of workshops at the Fine Art Work Center, creating a series of mono prints using a reductive process that explores perspective, layering, and depth of field.
Born in Los Angeles, Kevin Umaña lives and works in Kansas City, MO. Umaña received a B.F.A from San Francisco State U. with a degree in printmaking. He is the co-founder of The Ekru Project,(a gallery space in Kansas City), and a contributor to The Coastal Project. He has exhibited nationally/internationally, including Tapei, Reykjavik, London, New York City, and San Francisco. He was an artist in residence for the Center for Book Arts in 2019.
