“The renderings made by Ms. Lutz are extraordinary. Combining drawing and painting with magazine cutouts of limbs, faces and other body parts, they depict sexy young women in jaunty poses that nevertheless convey a wistful, touching sense of loss. In it's intensity, the work evokes that of Egon Scheile.” (Grace Gleuck, New York Times, January 28, 2000, Review of Outsider Art Fair 2000).
Born in 1966, Sindy grew up in Beach Haven, New Jersey. An accident which occurred in her childhood has led Sindy to create work which questions and subverts our traditional notions of beauty. Sindy's drawings of the human form integrate magazine cutouts stapled to the page, which are further manipulated by scratching out the identities of the models faces. The work is provocative and full of rage, as well as beautifully descriptive of the pathetic nature of humanity. Lutz's work shares her genuine pain with the audience, as well as her hopefulness and humor.
