Paul Krainak Reviews "Jumping From Trains" Solo Show

Thanks to everyone who made it out to see my Solo Show, Jumping From Trains at Arts & Literature Lab.  Here are some installation images from the exhibition that closed at the end of August 2024. Thank you so much to Paul Krainak with Bad At Sports for the thoughtful writeup about the show. Its wonderful for people to take the time to see the show and especially exciting when they are engaged enough to sit and write a reflection of the experience.  Krainak's insights tuned in on several ideas that are in my head when making a painting.  Krainak states "Rebecca Kautz’s solo painting show at Madison’s Art Lit Lab combines an idiosyncratic exploration of personal subjects buried in a palpable vernacularism that seems to be composed by the way images are spoken – a sort of soluble concrete poetry. What’s remarkable is how her improvisational figuration, unhinged from the mimetic fatigue still alive from the halcyon days of “Bad Painting,” plays catch with facsimiles across the “Lab’s” enormous galleries."
