Iris Kufert-Rivo

Iris Kufert-Rivo works relate closely to the artist’s observance of the world she lives in and the climate of the culture around us. Iris received her Bachelor of Science from Skidmore College and an MFA from Bard College. Her painting process is paramount to her creative experience, made without the use of a brush, Iris uses palette knives and straight edges to propel the pieces forward. Exploring patterns and repetition of forms, she is able to formulate a cohesive and opposing balance that perpetuates movement and tension on the playing field.

Her works have been exhibited at The Painting Center (NYC), Hidell Brooks Gallery (Charlotte, NC), George Billis Gallery LA (Los Angeles, CA), Dune (NYC), One West End Gallery (NYC), Village One Gallery (NYC), Red Dot Fair at Art Basel (Miami, FL), San Francisco Art Fair, Newell Gallery (NYC), The Morris Museum (Morristown, NJ).
