Ava Kutner is a Brooklyn based, multidisciplinary artist, originally from northern Massachusetts. Kutner currently studies studio art at New York University, working with numerous mediums, ranging from oil and acrylic paintings, to multimedia installations and works, such as sculptural pieces and short multi-sensory films. Much of her work concerns a feminist approach to medical issues, examining the pressure out on afab bodies in a patriarchal world. Though her recent work expresses these painful issues with animals rather than humans. She uses maximalism in words and paint to mimic the discombobulation and brain fog caused by health issues (more common in women) caused by exposure to mold. As well as the mysophobia said illnesses create. Kutner does not abide by the confines of the traditional, and rather forages an alternative stylistic path seen by her dynamic use of tonality and depth, as well as exaggerated features of the figures she depicts. She has recently exhibited at Connected Cozmos in fall 2023 and was part of the National arts Club student show at the National Arts Club in 2024.
