The Omomuki grant funded a filed interview with pianist Jeremy Denk.
Kirk Bauer
Mr. Bauer received a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Texas. Says Mr. Bauer, “I think ‘contemporary impressionism’ best describes my work. My art is a combination of image-making using traditional printmaking techniques with digital imaging technology. My primary media is images created with ink applied to brushed aluminum. The ink is thick, textural and opaque in some areas while transparent with a metallic sheen showing through in other areas. The image is created with a combination of hand-drawn lines and computer generated lines.” Omomuki co-sponsored a reception featuring Mr. Bauer’s work in New York City.
