Ed Kerns

Ed Kerns (född 22 februari 1945) är en amerikansk abstrakt konstnär och utbildare. Kerns studerade med den kända abstrakt-expressionistiska målaren Grace Hartigan och genom den äldre konstnären lärde han känna och arbeta med många konstnärer från den generationen, inklusive Phillip Guston , Willem de Kooning , James Brooks , Ernest Briggs , Richard Diebenkorn och Sam Francis .

Tidigt liv

föddes 1945 i Richmond , Virginia , och började måla i ung ålder. Han deltog i Richmond Professional Institute och fick sin BFA 1967. Han gick vidare till Maryland Institute , där han studerade med målaren Grace Hartigan. Här fick Kerns Hoffberger Fellowship och tog examen med en MFA 1969.

Målarkarriär

Kerns fick först exponering 1972, när han fick i uppdrag av konstsamlaren Larry Aldrich att måla 100 målningar under året som gåvor. Samma år hade Kerns sin första solokonstutställning på AM Sachs Gallery i New York. Under loppet av 1970- och 80-talen bildade Kerns ett nära samarbete med Rosa Esman Gallery och ställde ut tio separatutställningar där.

Om sitt arbete i slutet av 1970-talet och början av 80-talet säger gallerikoordinator Judith Stein: "Han arbetar långsamt och skapar inte mer än tio stora målningar om året. Hans media är akryl, sand och tråd, det sista som användes för att sy ihop delar av duken. Ofta används plywood eller Upson-skiva som stöd.”

Undervisning

Kerns började undervisa 1970, som konstlärare vid Bentley School i New York City. 1972 blev han chef för konstavdelningen vid Baldwinskolan och 1974 ledde han Konstavdelningen för Friends Seminary. 1980 lämnade han Friends Academy och flyttade till Easton , Pennsylvania , där han blev chef för Lafayette Colleges konstavdelning. 1988 valdes han ut att fungera som den första Eugene H. Clapp II-professorn i humaniora vid Lafayette College.

Samarbeten

1989 samarbetade Kerns med poeten Lee Upton i en serie målningar. Serien kulminerade i en show, A Collaboration of Poetry and Images, som visades i hela Pennsylvania. Kerns har också samarbetat med pastor Ted Loder och illustrerat fyra böcker skrivna av pastorn.

År 2007 samarbetade Kerns med konstnären Elizabeth Chapman om "Word, City, Mind: A Universal Resonance", en utställning som använde "målning, text, collage och bild, utställningen fokuserar på resonansen mellan neurologiska, kosmiska och mänskliga. gjort former".
