For well over a decade artist Amy Cutler has crafted puzzling narratives with pencil, brush and printing press. Each work is a small world in which remarkable events take place. They always contain women with unusual styles of dress and fantastic plot devices. They spring from the rich imagination of the artist and her relationship with the rest of the world. Perhaps this is why the figures in each of these worlds are almost always women. They seem to live their lives in extraordinary circumstances with composure and poise. They may not know this, but they are the heroes in their own stories.
Originally from Poughkeepsie, NY, Amy Cutler lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She studied at Cooper Union and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She has exhibited her work both in the United States and internationally including Spain, Denmark, Turkey, Sweden and Finland. Many prestigious institutions have collected her work including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the Hammer Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Amy Cutler is represented by Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects. MOCA would like to thank the artist and Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects for their help in realizing this exhibition.
