Julia Kunin

Julia Kunin received her MFA from The Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and her BA from Wellesley College. She is currently Chair of the Art Department at the Allen-Stevenson School in NYC. Kunin’s work has been exhibited at national and international institutions, including the Deutches Leder Museum and Museum of Applied Arts and Design (Germany), and the Sculpture Center and Hallwalls Art Center (New York). She has attended residencies at the MacDowell Colony (NH), Art Omi (NY), and The Vermont Studio Center (VT). She is represented by Sandra Gering, Inc. Gallery in New York.

Kunin’s work is both fantastical and grotesque, composed of hand-sculpted parts piled into ambiguous forms that conjure ideas of plants, animals, figures, and landscape. During her Arts/Industry residency, Kunin enlarged the scale of her work.
