Members, join us for our next Member Art-Making session focused on Making Your Mark! Inspired by the Museum’s newest exhibition, “Tell Clyfford I Said ‘Hi’”, we will look at various works and find bridges between figuration and abstraction, explore mark making with different mediums, and practice drawing each other while also using those marks to create intuitively, using memory and intuition to move into abstraction.
This event is limited to members and their guests. Not a member? Join today.
Space is limited. Registration is required. Please note that there is a $5 materials fee. Registration will open soon.
About Kaitlyn Tucek
Artist Statement:
With undercurrents of art historical references as well as folk and popular illustration influence, Tucek’s work is a fantasia, charged with a queer and feminine sexual energy.
Always pushing the boundaries between drawing and painting, space and time, surreality and reality, chaos and control, Tucek creates fairy tales for viewers to escape into.
In addition to two-dimensional works, Tucek has created events such as The Dinner Party in September of 2023 and off-site installations like The Lilac Hour in the Ashcroft Ghost Town outside of Aspen, CO. Tucek often writes poetic narratives to parallel her two-dimensional bodies of work. Tucek also engages in installation, textile, sculptural, video, and sound work, frequently creating and facilitating figure drawing programming in Colorado.
