About

Kim Leutwyler is an American artist currently living in Sydney, Australia. She works in a variety of media including painting, installation, ceramics, printmedia, and drawing. Never residing in one place for more than a few years, Kim has traveled extensively throughout North America, the European continent, Asia and the South Pacific region. A great deal of Kims inspiration is drawn from the imagery, social differences and experiences in her travels.

Kims current work takes its form in large scale paintings primarily dealing with images of beauty, Queer-identity and sexuality. She holds concurrent degrees in studio and art history from Arizona State University, and a Painting and Drawing degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

FROM THE ARTIST:
I create large scale figure paintings of LGBTQ-identified women, most recently focusing on those who have impacted my life in some way. My work toys with the concept of glorification vs. objectification vs. modification. I incorporate various facets of nature in to my work in order to comment on the mutability of life, gender and beauty. I have come to focus on painting as a medium because of its primarily masculine history in the western art canon.

I am dedicated to my studio practice and intend to continue making art throughout the course of my life, no matter what path my career may take. In the future, I see my artwork marking a sexually fluid presence and stimulating dialogue in both the feminist and mainstream art worlds.

I've started a project called PHILANTHROPART, for which I donate portion of the proceeds from my artwork sold to a new charity or non-profit organization each month. For details see http://kimleutwyler.com
