A Fabric of Perceptions
Summer 2022
For the past twenty-five years Kady JLKR has painted large scenes of Central Park in New York City. The great majority of them are all done from a single vantage point at the north edge of the Sheep Meadow, where her view extends across the lawn towards the skyline on 59th Street. She works at the park in watercolors on long rolls of paper, so that she can transport them back and forth. Despite this natural setting, she doesn't consider herself to be a landscape painter. Instead she considers herself to be a figure painter, and that the landscape is just a place where the figures will come and go.
