"Earth's Symphony, on view at the Leedy Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Missouri, through February 27, represents a pivotal moment in Rita Blitt 's decades-long dedication to exploring the expressive qualities of line, movement, and color. Her most recent paintings, created during the past three years, reflect Blitt's deepening connection with the natural world around her, building on core themes within her practice while reaching new levels of intimacy and nuance."
"Throughout the decades, Blitt has consistently drawn inspiration from nature, family, music, and movement, aiming to transform the everyday beauty of neighborhood gardens and trees into expansive contemplations on growth, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life. Through painting, she turns fleeting glimpses of the everyday into meditations on the universal, hoping to remind viewers of nature's endless potential for artistic transformation."
Earth's Symphony is on view at the Leedy Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Missouri, through February 27 and features recent paintings made over the past three years. The works deepen a long engagement with line, movement, color, and the natural world, translating neighborhood gardens and trees into contemplations of growth, renewal, and life cycles. Line functions as animating energy, with brushstrokes and gestures conveying momentum and fluidity. Color layers create atmosphere and seasonal shifts, while movement and color operate contrapuntally to make local details feel universal and transient moments feel enduring.
