Meg Lipke paints colorful and experimental compositions onto canvases with subtle curvature which is the artist’s quiet subversion of the modern convention that “serious” painting must be rectangular. Further, the artist studies prehistoric cave drawings and brings this interest in fundamental
mark-making into the vocabulary of her paintings. Lipke was born in 1969 in Portland, Oregon and was raised in Burlington, Vermont and Cheshire, England. She received her MFA from Cornell University and has taught at The University of Northern Iowa, Cornell University, and Pratt Institute in
Brooklyn. Lipke paints colorful and experimental compositions onto canvases with subtle curvature. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and has been reviewed in Art in America, the Village Voice, the New York Times and many online publications.
