Raken Leaves
A Detroit native, Raken received a BFA in sculpture, welding, and weaving and helped create the performance/art group “The Motor City Free Arts” in the 1970s. Upon moving to the Lower East Side in the 1980s, she met her husband Julius one night at Club 57. They became a driving force in the Lower East side Art scene. Raken was part of the women artists of the famed Rivington School. She worked in organic mediums. Raken is known for her Leather Faces which she will be showing here. She has exhibited in numerous group shows and shared a 38-year retrospective 2-man show with Julius Klein showcasing their work from the early 80's to the present day, at Gallery 222.
