Photographer, Video Artist, Painter, Musician, Snow Boarder, Activist...

A consummate professional, yet a fierce individual, Ritta always looks for the unique aspect of any given moment. He has exhibited his paintings and photography internationally for years, while avoiding the incestuous gallery politics that so often warp the motives of aspiring artists.
With his eye on video/film as a medium, Ritta is already creating a stir in
experimental video circles, with some of his work soon appearing in national film festivals. Commercially, he is producing promotional videos for clients from Hudson News Group to the olympic gymnastic group Antigravity.
Music videos are his next focus, which is not surprising considering Ritta's life-long involvement in the music industry (he currently plays bass for Karyn Kuhl, a heavy melodic rock band that regularly plays CBGB's and the downtown NYC circuit).
Kurt Ritta is 37, lives in the East Village and has a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, NYC. He has shown his paintings in Soho with Belenky Gallery, and in Miami, Berlin, Los Angeles, Denver, San Francisco, Prague, Paris, and the Dominican Republic - where he was an artist in Residence at Parsons School of Design.
His experimental video works have been shown at 4 Walls Exhibition space and Galapagos in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the OVM Festival in Bushwick, Brooklyn in 2001. Ritta's work has been screened at many rave and multimedia parties in
Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey, and on local public access cable channels.
