Binding abstraction with social critique, Alexis Kuhr’s ink paintings exist at the intersection of art and the vernacular language of comics, posters, and animation in ways influenced by artists and illustrators as disparate as Otto Dix, Jack Kirby, Victor Moscoso, and R. Crumb.
For the past three decades, Alexis Kuhr has explored the possibilities of abstraction in painting, drawing and printmaking. Her works have been shown nationally and internationally in numerous exhibitions and she is the recipient of fellowships from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the New England Foundation for the Arts. Alexis Khur is a Professor in the Department of Art at UMass Amherst.
