Sara Klar
http://saraklar.com/biography
Sara was born in Far Rockaway, New York. Her family was an Orthodox Jewish family of Eastern European heritage. During her childhood, her favorite thing to do was read. As she grew older, she studied English literature at Brooklyn College, Barnard, and Columbia University. A year or two after college, she broke away from her family’s culture and moved to SOHO. She began going to museums where she viewed work that she was never allowed to see before. Ever since then (2002), she has been painting. Now she has a new studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
She has a very unique style of painting. Every painting she makes has a significant meaning behind it that not a lot of people would understand without reading about it. I like her work because it really makes you think and try to understand what she is portraying. For example, she has a group of five paintings that all go together called the “Coded, Five Current Shades.” Together they represent the killing of citizens and soldiers in Iraq. The themes of anxiety, fear, and despair mixed with beauty, hope, and self-determination reflect life’s journey and impermanence.
