| Details: | Meg Lipke questions conventional notions of painting with her colorful, shaped abstractions. Working directly on canvas or cloth, the artist may cut, stain, or sew her materials to create compositions that project from the wall, or rest upon the floor. The space around and between each form is as much the artist’s subject as her final creation. Many of these soft, pliable paintings imaginatively conjure up aspects of the body – disembodied limbs or arms – seemingly animate and poised to leave the space. Through approach and process, Lipke summons past craft traditions, memories of her mother and grandmother’s creative practice, and canons of 20th-century modernism. The artist deftly draws upon these legacies making innovative and remarkable work that reinvigorates the possibilities of contemporary abstraction. In the Making features work made by Lipke over the past five years, tracing the artist’s inspired evolution from suspended canvas, to low-relief, soft paintings and totemic sculptures, to her most recent large-scale work including the monumental, 16-foot Slanting Grid, created for this solo exhibition.
