Artist Amanda Krugliak’s abstract paintings are otherworldly. They are rhythmic notations of a secret language, markings of hidden life, recordings of strange yet familiar conversations. Each network of line reveals an origin. Painting into drawing and drawing into painting reads like a map of doing and undoing. We are left with urgent yet simple scrawlings, and the passage of time. All else descriptive or narrative seems to fall away. Open space itself is a continuation of gesture. These works stay, like visual utterances and echoes out of this world.

Amanda Krugliak received her BFA with honors in 1985 from the University of Michigan School of Art. She has spent the last twenty years as a working artist in San Francisco, with Fred Reichman from the Bay Area Figurative School as a most notable mentor. Her work is in the collections of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Swig, San Francisco, California, The San Francisco Children’s Hospital, Congressman Nancy and Mr. Paul Pelosi, San Francisco, California and Washington D.C., Mr. Michael Cohen, Los Angeles California, among others. She currently resides in Ann Arbor with her husband and two children. Revisiting Ann Arbor has felt like “seeing yourself on the bus or the train…,” she says, “You reach out for a glimpse of yourself, like some old friend-- a recollection, a gesture, but you can’t quite catch it, and then it’s gone. It has been an interesting time to run into myself coming and going here in Ann Arbor where I first painted paintings as a young girl at the art school.”

This event is sponsored by the Institute for the Humanities, University of Michigan, and made possible by their generous support.
