| Desc: | This is a second piece of a unique format, the process of which has been really joyous and very challenging. The last but not the least difficulty was finding a suitable title. The working title was Five to Nine, later it became Mind moves, neither was satisfactory. As for the last few years, I have been seeing the naked figures as representing states of mind. This work is part of that exploration. It really needs to be seen in person. |

Chanit (pronounced ha-neat), a New-York-based artist , maintains her studio in Midtown Manhattan. She was born in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War and came to the United States in 1960. Chanit studied drawing with Joseph Hirsh and painting with Harvey Dinnerstein at the National Academy of Fine Art and Design on scholarship. By then, Chanit's involvement with painting grew into a passion for art (especially portraits in oil and watercolor). She also studied with Robert Phillip at the Art Students League and was privately mentored by Anthony Toney. Chanit was a resident artist at Gurney's Inn in Montauk in the summer of 1982 and taught portraiture at Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, Long Island, New York the following fall and spring. Her motto — “Portraits of people, places and favorite things" — extends to include states of mind, emotional landscapes, and energetic abstracts (derived from her tumultuous past) to the quiet contemplation of delicate flowers. |
