Kika Karadi (born 1975 in Budapest, Hungary) is a visual artist based in New York City and Marfa, Texas. She is known for her abstract painting style.[1]

Exhibitions

Karadi had her first European solo show in Naples, Italy, in 2006.[2] She has shown at the Prague Biennale 2. In 2017, she was an artist in residence at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.[3] She has held solo exhibitions at the Jonathan Viner Gallery in London and The Journal Gallery in New York City.[3]

Technique

Karadi is noted for her large-scale paintings made in response to the aesthetics of the film noir genre. Her paintings were described as "black stenciled signage on a white background", in which she "reintroduces hints of representation - atmospheric cinematic scenes, figurative forms and symbols which welcome the impurities of cultural collision."[4] She approaches painting with a monographic technique. Her body of work using this process refers to the abandoned Oak Park Mall in Austin, Minnesota where she maintained her studio since early 2014.[5]

Personal life

In 2017, Karadi married the American musician John Maus.[6][7] In May 2018, during a Q&A conducted on Reddit, he commented that she had split from him "about a week and a half ago".[8]
