Abstract Art Show coming to SOBA Gallery
Jane Capraro, aka JC Kuller
The Society of Bluffton Artists (SOBA) is excited to present the latest featured artist exhibit, “What Do You See?” by Jane Capraro, also known by her artistic signature “JC Kuller.” This captivating exhibition will run from Sunday, October 6 through Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the SOBA Gallery. The community is warmly invited to the opening reception on Friday, October 11, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., where guests can meet the artist and immerse themselves in her thought-provoking works.
Jane Capraro’s creative journey is deeply influenced by her father, John Kuller, an
illustrator and oil painter, whose legacy she honors by signing her pieces with her maiden name, “Kuller.” After a successful banking career in New York City, Jane returned to her first love, painting, and began exploring the world of abstract and abstract expressionism under the mentorship of Missy Gentile at SOBA. Her artistic evolution has led her to create works filled with energy, hidden meanings, and raw emotional honesty.
In 2024, Jane received the prestigious “Best in Show” award for her abstract piece “The Queen.”Her work continues to gain recognition in the local art community, with her pieces currently on display at Alexander’s Restaurant on Hilton Head Island and at the SOBA Gallery.
In her artist’s statement, Jane reflects on the emotional and freeing process of creating abstract art. She shares, “Painting in abstract is an emotional, freeing, and creative force that I use to interpret and express my vision of the world within and around me. I aim to create art that is transcendent, pointing the viewer into different worlds that may be humorous, magical, peaceful, sad, or may speak of an injustice or challenge.”
