Opening Saturday, May 11th, from 6PM - 9PM

Kim Piotrowski is an abstract painter who lives in the Midwest. She was born in Buffalo, NY and in 1984 moved to Chicago to attend the School of the Art Institute where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. For Piotrowski, color and surface, broad brushstrokes and fine details are paramount in her abstractions. With mark-making that is both aggressive and gentle, Piotrowski deftly incorporates notions of order and chaos, tenderness, and violence, calm and anxiety, imbuing the right amounts of edginess, uncertainty, and mystery to keep herself inspired and her viewers engaged.
Piotrowski’s art has been featured in such venues as Grolle: Pass: Projects, Wuppertal, Germany; Forum Gallery, NYC; Marcia Wood Gallery, Atlanta, GA, and Barbara Davis Gallery, in Houston, TX. She has exhibited extensively in the Chicago area at Thomas McCormick Gallery, Cultivator Arts, Linda Warren Projects, Riverside Arts Center, 65Grand, Hyde Park Art Center and Union League Club. Piotrowski is the recipient of such prestigious honors as the Artadia Grant, the Illinois Arts Council Visual Artist Grant, Sustainable Arts Foundation Artist Grant, and the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Grant. She has also been an artist in residence at Yaddo, Hambidge, Oxbow and Ragdale.
Kim Piotrowski is represented by Grolle Gallery in Wuppertal and Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta. Her work is also available at Thomas McCormick Gallery, Chicago, Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston and Forum Gallery, NYC.
