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. Made in the tail end of the pandemic, this somewhat stagnant donkey was made during a period of isolation. The colors suggest a completely different time and space from the real but the animal is a grounding force. Deliberate manipulation of line, space, layering, and cropping are all at play in this piece which recurs frequently throughout her larger scale print series.
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.
