Her distinctly recognizable style calls on modernist roots, and an interest in materials. Unlike a lot of modern art, Saj\u2019s work hails beauty to build her vocabulary.\u00a0 She is an iconographer of the future. Her colorful and playful paintings beckon the inner child while remaining in conversation with the Old world traditions in which her work is steeped. The work offers the viewer a place of respite and visual joy. Her images allude to the tradition of sacred paintings, informed by her early training and work with Byzantine Iconographer, Petro Kholodny, the Younger, exposing her to ancient methods of painting in egg tempera. Saj holds a BA in Painting from Sarah Lawrence, an MFA from Bard College and studied Byzantine Art History at Oxford University.<\/p>\n<p>Saj continues adapting and innovating her techniques to engage modern audiences in new ways with use of unusual materials which expand her reach as a painter. Her work has been widely exhibited, including such venues as the Museum of Biblical Art, The National Cathedral, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, Union Theological Seminary, The Ukrainian Museum in New York, The Museum of Cultural Heritage (Kiev, Ukraine), The National Museum in Lviv (Ukraine), the American Embassy in Qatar, as well as at the White House. Her works reside in private and museum collections in the US and abroad. She maintains an active studio in New Jersey where she welcomes commissions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drozd-Luba-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7470 alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drozd-Luba-1.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drozd-Luba-1.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drozd-Luba-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"248\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 248px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 248\/248;\" \/><\/a>Luba Drozd<\/strong> is an installation artist working with site specific sound, 3D animation, and sculpture.\u00a0Her works are composed with vibrations that form sonic spaces alongside sculptural projections.\u00a0The installations re-orient architecture through repetition and offset of materials, sound, and parallax, gesturing to how intangible spaces within us such as memory, knowledge, and perception are controlled and regimented.<\/p>\n<p>She is the recipient of the MacDowell Colony Fellowship, Yaddo Residency, Millay Colony Residency, grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and Eastern State Historic Site, with works exhibited at the Knockdown Center, Bronx Museum among many others.
