Kay WalkingStick joins Hales
NEW YORK, NY
.-Hales is proud to announce representation of American artist Kay WalkingStick. WalkingSticks works are currently included in Site, a three-person exhibition at Hales New York. The gallery will host a solo show of her work in New York City in 2022.
Primarily a painter, Kay WalkingStick (b. 1935 Syracuse, NY) has for over six decades explored the American Landscape and its metaphorical significances to Native Americans and people across the world. WalkingStick has Cherokee/Anglo heritage, and she draws on the Native American experience as well as formal modernist painterly traditions to create works that connect the immediacy of the physical world with the spiritual. Attempting to unify the present with history, her complex works hold tension between representational and abstract imagery. Her paintings represent a knowledge of the earth and its sacred quality.

.- Under Nazi rule in 1944, some 18,000 Jews were deported in six trains from the city of Cluj-Napoca in modern-day Romania to the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. They nearly all perished. Jewish homes, offices, archives and synagogues in Cluj were ransacked and possessions were looted, including books and historical records, leaving behind scant trace of a once-vibrant, mainly Hungarian-speaking community.
