Virginia Katz
Virginia Katz focuses on humanity’s relationship with the natural environment in her exploration of the landscape. Her work reflects a deep concern for the increasingly fragile connection we share with our planet, emphasizing themes of decay and rejuvenation. Since 2010, she has created relief paintings and mixed-media monoprints that incorporate found elements such as leaves, soil, vines, tree bark, and Styrofoam. For her 2017 Intervention series, she further questioned and dissolved boundaries between the natural and human-made by integrating facsimiles of these elements she made from acrylic paints into outdoor spaces.
