Echo Sight by Karen Kunc
This is an etching and aquatint by noted American printmaker Karen Kunc. This is very typical of her work with multiple bold colors, geometric shapes, and lines that convey tension, motion, and energy. The title reflects spiritual meaning which is a central element of her work.
The print is in perfect condition. It is well struck with bright colors and no issues with the paper. It is signed and dated in pencil lower right, titled lower left, and the edition (39/50) is given lower center. A fine work by this artist.
Karen Kunc (1952 - ) Karen Kunc is a contemporary American artist. She is the Cather Professor of Art in School of Art, Art History & Design whose focus is printmaking. She received her BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and her MFA from the Ohio State University. She has taught at the University of Nebraska since 1983. She is a well-known printmaker having exhibited extensively within and outside the United States. She received the Printmaker Emeritus Award from the Southern Graphics Council in 2007. Her work is colorful, abstract, and dynamic. In her artistic statement, she cites her Nebraska heritage and the landscape of the Great Plains as influences. In particular, she incorporates “…extremes of weather and natural forces…” in her work. The layers in her work speak of erosion creating landforms like canyons ultimately returning them to earth. She uses research into many areas to influence her work. Again, from her artistic statement, “…from nature and science, spiritual and religious thought, art historical and modern icons, immigration narratives and native myths.”
