This work by Leah Horowitz hints at the broader preoccupations of the artist, illustrator, and educator in the subtlest of ways and offers a glimpse at her visual process. Motifs exist in a liminal space using Romanesque references as she relates to aspects of modern day life. The drawing she used for reference is from the manuscript page of Carmina Burana from the 13th century. Deliberate manipulation of line, space, layering, and cropping are all at play in this piece which recurs frequently throughout her larger scale print series.The borders are taped off then blurred with an assortment of textures using pastel, graphite powder, and acrylic medium.
Leah Horowitz, b. 1988, New York, studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she developed her design practice as a form of problem solving. She also holds an MFA from Brooklyn College where she studied and taught fine art. Her process is equally weighted with contextual understanding and acute visual sensibility. Horowitz’s clients include Bloomberg, The New York Times, and Vogue, and her work has been featured in institutions including Printed Matter, MoMA PS1, Yale University and is a forthcoming resident artist at Mass MOCA.
