University Open Air: Line of Flight: Painting Workshop
We'll use a traditional, old-school method to transform photographic images into monochromatic acrylic paintings. Through abstraction we’ll begin with a controlled approach and gradually allow expressive gestures to take over.
Limited to 15 participants.
Michal Alpern is a New York based artist with an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem. Alpern’s practice shifts between making serieses of objects to room sized sculptures, reconciling spatial thoughts like gesture and materiality with abstractions like gender and domesticity. Her works were featured in museums and institutions in NY and Israel, including solo shows at M23 Gallery, NY, The Museum of Israeli Art, Israel and group shows at False Flag, NY and the LeRoy Neiman Center, NY.
