Austin Furtak-Cole, a Vermont-based painter and printmaker, delves into the distortions of human perception, exploring how we simplify and reshape reality to cope with its complexities. His paintings and drawings employ abstraction to evoke both a sense of intimacy and a curiosity about the unseen. Furtak-Cole has exhibited across the Northeast and participated in residencies that explore the intersection of memory and mark-making.

Austin’s work has been featured in Maake Magazine, New American Paintings, Art Maze Magazine, Friend of the Artist, and Brooklyn Magazine. His work has also been shown at Summertime Gallery, Room Art Space, Rad Hourani, Harpy Gallery, The Hole, Open House Blog, Park Place Gallery, and Denise Bibro Fine Art. He currently lives and works from the Green Mountains of Vermont.
