Susan Kaprov: Self-Portraits 1975-1990
Begun in the 1970’s and continuing to the present day, these experimental black and white and color photomontages were created utilizing the unique properties of random multiple imaging inherent in ordinary copy machines such as Xerox, Canon, Minolta, Haloid, and others. They range from highly personal self-portraits to pure abstraction.
Sixteen of these works are in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Chasing Paper
Folded, loose, and crinkled papers of all varieties, colors, and configurations float, collide, fly, and “dance" freely in tandem with urban breezes - yet go largely unnoticed by our fast-paced city dwellers. Now they’re ready for their close-ups!

Vibrant interlocking shapes forge a kaleidoscopic, personal visual
metaphor of the world: complex, always in flux, interconnected

of chaos.
Represented in major museums and collections world-wide.

“If the artists of the Renaissance had access to modern technology,
this is what their work would look like,” said a curator of contemporary
art. These hyper-detailed images carefully merge digitally scanned
live flowers and plants with artificial ones, blurring the distinction
between the real and the artificial.
Represented in major museums and collections world-wide.
