Statement:
Margaret Neill is an American artist living in New York City. She is recognized for both energetic and contemplative works on canvas and paper that incorporate multilayered often curvilinear forms. Her deeply embodied works turn gesture into form and linear shifting atmospheres that mirror closely observed experiences of daily life. The process of making her work over time begins to characterize the penetrating aliveness that speaks to this experience in a variety of ways, both geometric, solid, linear, and atmospheric. In the continuous flow of working the final form arrives as if predetermined like an emblem that speaks to what is inherently inexplicable allowing the viewer to contemplate change within stillness.
