Margaret Fitzgerald

Imprint and Dialectic: New Paintings

oil on canvas

February 1 – April 30, 2021

We are pleased to present new paintings by Albuquerque-based artist Margaret Fitzgerald.

Ms Fitzgerald’s works in oil on canvas investigate ideas of construction and deconstruction through the use of multiple layers of paint and content, striking a juxtaposition between deliberate and spontaneous compositional elements.

She describes her process as “seeking something familiar…with each painting I want to dig deeper, move beyond the limitations of words and evoke an emotional response. I want to catch a glimpse of the intangible human experience.”

Kenneth Baker, in his 2013 SF Chronicle review wrote that she “works with a fine disregard for the refinements possible to her art form.

“The big shapes in Fitzgerald’s canvases, some hinting at rudimentary imagery, encourage viewing at a distance. But much worth seeing occurs in areas where she has scored or scraped away the topmost paint layers to let bright underpainting wink through.”

This is the artist’s sixth solo show at the gallery.

The exhibition will be on view in the gallery by appointment February 1- April 30th 2021.
