Cleveland Artists Foundation
Cleveland's Center for Regional Art
"Accompanied by catalogs with fresh observations by scholars and researchers, the foundation's exhibitions are building awareness of the region's greatest achievements in the visual arts in the 20th century. That's an essential service-and at the moment, no other institution in the city is doing it as consistently, or as well." --Steven Litt, Plain Dealer Art Critic
Audra Skuodas: Evolutions,
March 1 – May 11, 2013
Opening Reception, Friday, March 1, 6:00-8:00 pm

Audra Skuodas: Evolutions will present the paintings, drawings, books, and mixed media compositions of the Oberlin-based artist’s lengthy and incredibly fruitful career. For the past five decades  Skuodas has been focused and prolific, producing thousands of paintings, drawings and artist’s books which are at the same time personal as well as universal, exploring the boundaries between internal and external realities.  Donald Kuspit has written of her work, "Whatever suffering the figure may signify, it does so largely through the tense way it interacts with the rest of the picture, which is essentially geometrical."

Special Program, "Take Nine & Audra Skuodas"
Saturday, April 20, 2:00-4:00 pm at CAF
