Kutz is one of the region's best known and best loved artists.
A painter and innovator, Kutz ranges from traditional plein-air realism
to dreamlike explorations of time, place and memory. Celebrating his native
Bedford County with the same passion that brought fame to the Bucks County
Impressionists, Kutz's landscapes and small-town views are at once beautiful
essays in paint and deeply felt homages to his roots. In his portraits,
there is a kind of psychological presence that bespeaks the artist's sympathetic
interaction with the subject. The same sense of personal engagement characterizes
Kutz's experimental works, which include carvings in wood, steel engravings,
and 3-D assemblages.
Reflections: Artwork by Kevin Kutz
explores the artist's career, from his journeyman years just out of college
to the present. The exhibition gives an overview of his progress from one
chapter of his life to another. It also reveals the many changes and directions
that his art has undergone. With an emphasis on Kutz's remarkable creative
diversity, the exhibition will contain surprises even for those who are
familiar with the artist's work. Yet with its rich fund of visual poetry,
reverie, and an occasional touch of humor, Reflections promises a
satisfying experience that is sure to please everyone.
