Katya Tepper

Katya Tepper’s semi-abstract wall constructions may put you in mind of Philip Guston’s late-career paintings, not only because Tepper’s style recalls the funky, cartoonish quality of Guston’s own, but also because her work, like his, is a self-study in suffering from a debilitating condition—depression and alcoholism in Guston’s case; severe auto-immune disease in Tepper’s. Viewers have a chance to judge for themselves in her NYC solo debut.
