MARUANI MERCIER: Pam Glick, Romantic Comedy
Brussels, Avenue Louise 430, Romantic Comedy by Pam Glick, 23 April - 24 May
MARUANI MERCIER is delighted to present Romantic Comedy, the exhibition of new paintings by Pam Glick, opening on April 23 at our Brussels gallery. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in Belgium. Constructed in vibrant blocks of carefully selected hues of pink, orange, green, and blue, the paintings in Romantic Comedy are resolutely celebratory, projecting a sense of joy and unimpeded rhythm. Quilt-like, the paintings evoke accumulations of flashes of human experience and echo the orthogonal patterns of the New York streets. Addressing the legacy of Modernism and the history of abstract painting, Glick embraces the free momentum of the hand and body in the undulating lines, locating the authentic and immediate expression of being in the world...
About the artist: Glick's paintings respond to landscapes which she describes as “the perfect blend of physical and spiritual.” Her work emerges through improvisation and free association, capturing a deep yet surprising connection to nature. Born in Albany, Georgia, in 1956, Glick studied Painting at Rhode Island School of Design in 1980 and earned her MFA from the University of Buffalo in 2019. In 1995, Glick moved to Vermont, focusing on collage and works on paper, and later had an artist residency in Budapest in 2019. Her work is part of several collections, including the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, The Broad, and Deutsche Bank.

A propos
Fondée en 1995, MARUANI MERCIER représente 23 artistes contemporains et propose en parallèle des expositions historiques de qualité muséale, en s'appuyant sur l'héritage de plusieurs successions d’artistes renommés. A ses débuts, la galerie s'est concentrée sur des artistes américains emblématiques des années 1980, notamment Ross Bleckner, Francesco Clemente, Ron Gorchov, Peter Halley, Jonathan Lasker et Sue Williams. Au fil des ans, elle a accueilli une nouvelle génération d'artistes tels que Radcliffe Bailey, Jaclyn Conley et Tony Matelli. L’ouverture d’une adresse à Knokke, ainsi que d'un espace d'exposition et d'un programme de résidence à Zaventem, ont permis d'introduire des artistes d'Afrique de l'Ouest comme Kwesi Botchway et Johnson Eziefula. En 2022, un deuxième espace à Knokke a été inauguré pour présenter des maîtres modernes tels qu’Alexander Calder, Le Corbusier et Joan Miró.
