Art Today: Launching "Painting Storytime" -- Jill Krutick Releases Video Series Exploring the Artistry Behind Her Abstract Paintings
With social distancing and a pause in art shows scheduled this year, Jill Krutick Fine Art has branded a new video series called “Painting Storytime” to bring you closer to this fine artist’s work. Discover your favorite painting by this local artist by exploring the series.
Mamaroneck, NY, May 16, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The making of the Painting Storytime videos is a collaborative process by the studio’s small team and includes a variety of content: images of works in process, footage of Krutick painting in her studio, photographs from her recent exhibitions, and a background discussion of the inspiration behind the work. Krutick’s studio offers an immersive look at both individual paintings and her painting series to bring viewers closer to her artistic process.
Jill Krutick describes: “The short, two-minute episodes highlight the inspiration, process and adventure behind each of these finished works, and are released regularly on my website and Instagram page at jillkrutickfineart.”
To watch all episodes, including today’s new video release, and to learn more about Painting Storytime, please visit Jill Krutick Fine Art.
The first two episodes of this series are dedicated to individual paintings, which include "Chasing the Invisible" and "Dance of the Caterpillars." "Chasing the Invisible" is a painting inspired by a pop song written and performed by the artist’s daughter, Zoe Allyn Berg. The original song is featured in the video.
"Dance of the Caterpillars," a magical painting inspired by children's fairy tales, was exhibited in two solo museum exhibitions in the past year – the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Coral Springs, Florida and the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana.
The following episode is devoted to her "Ice Cube" series. These geometric works portray overcoming a personal challenge. The artist has created over 100 of these works and the series has emerged as her artistic fingerprint.
The newest episode, released today, features an undersea adventure painting called "The Way We Were." Krutick memorializes the coral reefs before the devastating damage sustained by global warming.
“Heavily textured and colorful, this painting is meant to instill a sense of longing for a time when the ocean was vibrant and stable and untouched by coral bleaching,” Krutick explains.
Music for the series (except "Chasing the Invisible") is composed and performed by Casey Lakritz. Studio photography and Painting Storytime logo illustration is by Simone Kurtz. Animation of the Painting Storytime logo and video editing is by Kathy Mathews.
