Abstract:
Kennedy Yanko (b. 1988, St. Louis, MO) is a sculptor and installation artist working in found metal and paint skin. Yanko deploys her materials in ways that explore the limitations of optic vision, underlining the opportunities we miss when looking with eyes alone. Her methods reflect a dual abstract expressionist-surrealist approach that centers the seen and unseen factors that affect, contribute to, and moderate human experience.
Select installations from 2021-2022 include White, Passing at the Rubell Museum (2021, Miami, FL) where Yanko was an Artist in Residence, By means other than the known senses at the Unlimited Section of Art Basel (2022, Basel, Switzerland), and No more Drama at the Brooklyn Museum (2022, Brooklyn, NY). Most recently, she debuted two solo exhibitions: Humming on Life with Jeffrey Deitch Gallery (2023, New York, NY) and She is a Verb with Salon 94 (2023, Paris, France).
