I Am The Keeper Of Our Conversation Scale Model Sculpture, Resin by Karen Atta

Karen Atta is a sculptor whose work explores forms that are rooted in nature, science, and the supernatural.A Lebanese American, Karen was born in New York City, and raised in Southern California. Growing up in a mid-century surf town fostered an intense appreciation of art, music, and the natural environment. After receiving an MFA in sculpture from Concordia University in Montreal, Karen dove into music and secured a contract with Atlantic Records. Her music career led her back to New York, where she worked as an independent artist and ultimately founded Atta Studio.

Karen is a pioneer in cast-resin sculpture. For over 25 years, her commercial studio has created unique objects for design and architectural applications across a range of disciplines. Sculptures and installations by Atta Studio have appeared everywhere from Lady Gaga’s performance at Barack Obama’s inaugural ball, to Tim Burton’s retrospective at MoMA, to the celebrated High Line Park in Manhattan. Now part of the fabric of New York’s Chelsea art community, Atta Studio is known for its expertise in combining classical sculpture with contemporary fabrication and engineering.
