BIOGRAPHY
Katharine Kuharic was born in 1962 in South Bend, IN. She completed her BF A in Painting and Drawing at Carnegie Mellon University in 1984, and then moved to New York City where she studied with Louise Bourgeois and Robert Storr at the School of Visual Arts.
Her contemporary allegorical paintings are filled with thousands of details, multiple figures, and complex technique beginning with multi-layered drawings held together with tape and glue. The drawings are meticulously hand-transferred and rendered tonally before the discrete layers of color are applied.
Sexual desire, social and political mores preoccupied her work in the 90’s. The paintings were populated by death heads, flayed flesh, tableaus and timelines of her sexual partners. The paintings were self-portraits in the deepest sense-like life, laddered with cultural and physical experience.
In the 2000’s Katharine Kuharic was drawn to “unsolicited images” and her paintings were responsive to overabundance in American life-fast food, and inflated and collapsing real estate and financial markets. The attendant sources were stickers, diner placemats, frozen dinner boxes, pizza labels, and discarded posters. After a decade of using found images, a middle-aged reservoir of despair compelled her to make paintings concerned with comfort, love, and death. These works were primarily based on observation and imagination. “The Nipple I Never Knew,” ” Scar Tissue of Lies,” and~Alphabet of Despair,” as well as small canvases based on the flora collected and drawn from life at her grave site comprise her next exhibition at P.P.O.W. Gallery.
Katharine’s work has been exhibited in numerous group shows in the U.S. and abroad including Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Stockholm, London, and Amsterdam. She has had fourteen solo exhibitions, including seven at P.P.O.W. Gallery in New York, which represents her work. Most recently, her work has been exhibited in several museum shows: “Homestyle: A Survey of Works on Paper” at the South Bend Regional Museum in South Bend, IN, “Low Road” at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art Museum in Wilmington, DE, “The World Brought Low,” a project at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis, MO, “Super Bowl Sunday” at the St. Louis A11 Museum in St. Louis, MO, and “The Female Gaze – Women Artists Making Their World” at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA.
Katharine Kuharic’s work has been reviewed in Terna Celeste magazine, the Village Voice, the New York Times, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and Time Out magazine. Articles on her work have appeared in Out magazine, Parkett magazine, and Arts magazine. Her work was a featured project for Bomb magazine. Her work has appeared on the cover of Jane DeLynn’s novel leash. Her book One Leaf Fell (illustrated by her alter ego, Minerva Mcintyre) was published by Stewart, Tabori, and Chang, and used as advertisements, billboards, and posters for the UCLA Gendered Transnationalism Conference in Los Angeles, CA.
Katharine Kuharic has received grants from Vogelstein Foundation, the Penny McCall Foundation, Art Matters, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She was named the Milton and Sally Avery Fellow for 2003 and 2004 at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH, and a Rockefeller Fellow at the Rockefeller Foundation Study and Conference Center in Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy.
She has taught at Yale University School of Art, Yale, Norfolk, The New School, and the School of Visual Arts, and was Associate Professor and Coordinator of Painting at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. She has served on a number of panels and has lectured extensively at universities and museums: the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the St. Louis Museum of Art, Yale University, Columbia University, NYU, the Core Program at the Glassell School of Arts, the Hartford School of Arts, Otis, and the University of Notre Dame.
Katharine Kuharic is known as a demanding, insightful teacher and has been awarded with the Dean’s Scholarly Achievement Aware and the The Class of 1962 Excellence in Teaching Award at Hamilton College.
