“I see myself as a photographer with a documentary, yet also, an artistically abstract approach.”

Kathy Ruttenberg
Henzel Studio is pleased to present Kathy Ruttenberg in our A/C.H. Program. Over the past several decades Kathy Ruttenberg has moved across artistic media, working in painting, sculpture, animation, photography, and books. She has become well regarded for her ceramic sculptures, yet in her artist's heart, mind, and hand, she is a visual storyteller. Ruttenberg's ceramic tableaux vivante are complex compositions that tell a complete tale in a glance, preserved in color and form.
Participation in a 1998 ceramics class at the famous Greenwich House Pottery has resulted in two decades of creations in clay that have been exhibited at venues throughout the world including Stefan Stux Gallery, New York; Sladmore Contemporary, London; the Dubuque Museum of Art, Iowa; the Caramoor Center for Music and Art, New York; the International Ceramic Biennial, France; the 5th World Ceramic Biennale Korea; and the 59th Faenza Prize International Competition of Contemporary Ceramic Art, Italy.
Emerging from New York's early 1980s East Village art scene, Ruttenberg's allegorical art contributed to the vitality of the new figurative expressionism that posed a colorful challenge to the dour minimalist sculpture and conceptual art that had dominated the art scene in the 1970s.

"Ruttenberg’s art calls to mind the works of other brilliant eccentric misfits, including Eugene von Bruenchenhein, Joseph Cornell, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Alison Saar. She shares with these artists a seraphic dedication to a personal, idiosyncratic, and deeply authentic impulse, making objects tuned to a subconscious voice that begs, cajoles, and even threatens for outward expression."

Linda Linko
Henzel Studio is pleased to present Linda Linko, a key figure in the Helsinki art scene.

Her expression results in tensions between figurative and abstract art, drawing inspiration from her extensive travels. In her new series she presents both figurative works on paper and abstract compositions on canvas foremost based on a mixture of gesso, acryl and oil pastel.
