Artist Statement for Kim Leutwyler
|
|
|
I create large scale figure paintings of queer-identified women, most recently focusing on those who have impacted my life in some way. My work toys with the concept of glorification vs. objectification vs. modification, while concurrently investigating the territory between visual and sexual enjoyment through pattern, color and image. I incorporate various facets of nature in to my work in order to comment on the mutability of life, sex and beauty. I have come to focus on painting as a medium because of its primarily masculine history in the western art canon.
I am dedicated to my studio practice and intend to continue making art throughout the course of my life, no matter what path my career may take. In the future, I see my artwork marking a sexually fluid presence and stimulating dialogue in both the feminist and mainstream art worlds.
I've started a new project called Philanthropart, for which I will begin giving 100% of the profits from my artwork sold to a new charity each month. I need your help compiling a list of charities, organizations and non-profits to whom I can make donations each month. Please leave suggestions under "contact"!!
