DEBORAH KAPOOR, Curator.
Deborah Kapoor worked in advertising and at Mattingly Baker Gallery after art school, eventually leaving her native Texas first for graduate school on the East coast, and then landed in the Midwest. Experience at Lyric Opera, Chicago theaters and Rhona Hoffman Gallery further informed the direction of her subsequent visual arts practice. As an artist, she creates dimensional, haptic, mixed-media paintings, prints and sculpture about the distilled poetry within cultural markers. In her work, she translates perceptual details of physical experience, examining the landscape of the body, sensual themes of the feminine, and embodiment of phenomena.
The exhibitions she has organized are rooted in culture and often interdisciplinary in approach. 15+ years’ teaching studio art and art history serve as a rich background for thinking about and evaluating art. Recent curatorial efforts include Navigate at Tashiro Kaplan/Seattle, Intersections: natural, intuitive, intentional at Blakely Hall / Issaquah, and TENACIOUS at Suzanne Zahr Gallery / Mercer Island, Washington in August, 2018.
