Claire Lieberman

Red Poppies, Gray Target

2004

As a sculptor Claire Lieberman uses both traditional and experimental materials such as Jell-O, alabaster, wax, glass, rubber and marble, as well as video and photography to create installations that trigger a sense of dislocation. As a printmaker, Lieberman explores formal aspects of her often ephemeral sculptural works. Juxtaposing solid and ephemeral materials with static and kinetic imagery, Lieberman creates a surprising reality where the solidity and rigidity of both image and material remain unresolved. Claire Lieberman holds and MFA from Pratt Institute a BFA from Tufts University. Since 1996 she has had solo and group exhibitions throughout the US, including the Chelsea Art Museum, NY; Shore Institute of Contemporary Art, NY; Queens College Art Center, NY; Quincy Art Center, IL; and The LAB, NY.
