Bio

Meg Lipke (b. 1969 Portland, Oregon) was raised in Burlington, Vermont and Cheshire, England, and she currently lives and works in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Lipke is known for her plush shaped canvases, painted with graphic, black lines and colorful, abstracted forms. Countless dualities, including painting and sculpture, abstraction and representation, geometric and organic, and contrast and familiarity meet in a dreamlike world on Lipke’s formed canvases.
