Contemporary abstract expressionist artist Jill Krutick will unveil her newest installation, the Animorph Series, at Aqua Art Miami in partnership with SHIM Art Network. The exhibition takes place from December 3–7 during Art Basel Miami. The presentation marks a striking evolution in Krutick’s environmentally focused practice, bringing together imagination, memory, and advocacy through a dynamic suite of underwater-inspired works.
The Animorph Series comprises 16 ink-on-Yupo pieces, each 18 x 18 inches, arranged in an immersive installation that evokes the fluidity and wonder of the ocean’s depths. Drawing on Krutick’s personal experiences as an avid scuba diver, the series conjures imaginary undersea creatures, vibrant ecosystems, and the surreal beauty of coral reefs. The luminous colors and organic forms create a dreamlike, ever-shifting aquatic world—one that celebrates the ocean’s vitality even as it underscores its fragility.
These new works build on the momentum of Krutick’s celebrated Coral Reef series, which was featured in a 2023 solo museum exhibition at The Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum. That exhibition included a monumental 85-foot-long, site-specific installation composed of 25 individual panels, integrating oil, acrylic, paper, plastic, and found materials. A meditation on environmental stewardship, the piece served as a vivid reminder of the threats facing the world’s coral reefs and marine life.
With the Animorph Series, Krutick extends this narrative, transforming ink into vibrant tributaries of movement and life. Each composition serves as both a celebration of the sea’s biodiversity and a call to action to protect these invaluable natural habitats.
Aqua Art Miami, known for spotlighting emerging and mid-career artists during Miami Art Week, offers an intimate setting for collectors, curators, and art lovers to discover fresh perspectives from around the globe.
