Pandering Painting

Kim Marra is a native New Yorker. After graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a BFA in Painting, Kim spent three years living in New York City before permanently relocating to Los Angeles in 2016. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, and has been featured in several publications. In 2018, Kim began curating and has produced four successful exhibitions around the Los Angeles area. In 2019, Kim helped co-found the artist collective Museum Adjacent. Kim’s bold, geometric oil paintings collage elements from her present surroundings and childhood home finding visual overlap in the memories and feelings these places recall for her. By living in the realm between abstraction and representation, the shapes and colors housed within each composition interact to elicit the illusion of space in an abstract reality.
