Signe Stuart: Evolution

 

 

Pie Projects was delighted to present Evolution, a solo exhibition by artist Signe Stuart . Beginning in the early 1960s, her professional career has now spanned more than 65 years. Her approach to art making has always relied on experimentation and rule breaking. Using the materials and form of painting, she breaks away from the standard rectangle and concepts of framing. For Stuart, a sheet of paper or a sewn canvas is a metaphorical slice of time and space, a context in which to construct ideas about the connections and intersections of consciousness with matter and energy.

"My art making process has evolved through more than 6 decades and mimics the way nature evolves through endless transformation and becoming. Instead of quantum particles, my vocabulary is lines, colors, and shapes. I combine and recombine these into sewn canvas paintings and works on paper, forming different iterations of the same ideas."
