MEDRIE MACPHEE
9 NOVEMBER to 22 DECEMBER, 2012
Barbara Edwards Contemporary is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by Medrie MacPhee. Drawing elements from the material world’s fractured and discordant face, architectural elements, electric colours and signage, her paintings are symphonic images of recreated forms conjured out of chaos and collapse.
MacPhee has been the recipient of grants and awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Canada Council for the Arts. She has also been a resident at MacDowell and the American Academy in Rome and spent four months in Berlin as the recipient of a John Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.
Her work can be found in major institutions such as the National Gallery of Canada; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Art Gallery of Ontario; the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal; the Edmonton Art Gallery; the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and private collections in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
MacPhee is currently the Sherri Burt Hennessey Artist-In-Residence at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
