CINÉ PLUTO…sheds light and joy. Singer has been painting since the late 1960s and has received his MFA from Yale University. He has shown widely throughout New York City.About Janet Kusmierski Janet Kusmierski’s work is intuitive in figuration, color abstraction and happenstance. She has been painting for 50 years with occasional digital experiments in stop-motion or hand-drawn animations. Currently, she has been drawing digitally on an iPad Pro as her sketchbook. These works evolve into paintings, paper prints, or time-lapsed/time-based animated abstract faces (viewed on an iPad screen, monitors or through a projector). Since 2023, she has focused solely on time-lapse abstract faces. The drawings are projected as an installation. Janet and Greg often collaborate with their son Calder Singer who is an accomplished musician and composer. About Avery Singer Avery Singer (b. 1987) was born and raised in New York NY. Her parents, the artists Janet Kusmierski and Greg Singer, named her after Milton Avery. Growing up in a creative community, Singer experimented with photography, film and drawing, but in those years never considered working with paint. In 2008, Singer studied at the Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, and in 2010, she received her B.F.A. from Cooper Union, New York NY. During her studies, Singer engaged in performance art, video making, as well as sculpture utilizing carpentry, metal casting and welding. After graduation, she discovered her chosen art form from an unanticipated experiment with SketchUp, a program used by her peers to design exhibition spaces, and airbrushed a black-and-white painting based on a digital illustration. Since then, Singer has employed the binary language of computer programs and industrial materials in order to remove the trace of the artist’s hand while engaging the tradition of painting and the legacy of modernism.
