As a designer, Leah Horowitz possesses an intuitive knowledge of how we consume visual material in our daily lives and its impact on our interactions with media and technology. These risograph prints, developed while working at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Center in New York, shed light on the more nascent stages of Horowitz’s process. With sparse but pointed composition, and a limited palette of three to four colors, the prints infer intimacy as though offering a glimpse into the artist’s inner world of images, slogans, icons. Yet, as risographs their poster-like quality also betrays the limitlessness and fluidity central to her work style. The resulting works suggest an endless stream of consciousness with myriad alignments, color combinations, and possible interpretations.
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.
