Chicago-based artist, Allie Kushnir, uses her work to investigate the relationship between body and setting, individuals to nature. Through an intuitive approach to mark-making, much of her work involves a layering of organic forms, meandering lines, and fluid bodies of paint. Her paintings express both an awareness and contemplation of the environment and its reciprocal influence on its inhabitants - exploring the spaces we take up, the state of minds we hold, and the effects of such conditions.
