This work by Leah Horowitz hints at the broader preoccupations of the artist, illustrator, and designer in the subtlest of ways and offers a glimpse at her visual process. Horowitz works with ink wash in the background that gives a collage-like finish to the image. Deliberate manipulation of line, space, layering, and cropping are all at play in this piece, nodding to Horowitz’s training as a graphic designer, as though this were a still from a movie or a carefully composed photograph.
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.
