Bryn Mawr-born artist Sandra Mueller-Dick to Exhibit in NYC Art Show!

The dream-like, enigmatic paintings of Sandra Mueller-Dick rouse the emotions and inspire viewers with bright, bold pigments and expressive brushstrokes. Although many of Mueller-Dick’s paintings are abstract, she always begins her compositions with a figurative subject in mind, usually one that reflects her personal history and current situation: the rocky shore of Maine, where she spent summers as a child, for example; or figures inspired by her interest in yoga and dance. Mueller-Dick then transforms her personal symbols into something pure and universal through her application of vivid, contrasting colors and a rhythmic repetition of shapes. Although one may not know the figurative starting point of Mueller-Dick’s paintings, the feelings and moods she seeks to convey leap off the canvas and allow her viewers entry into her world.

When she is not painting, Mueller-Dick is a gallery instructor at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She says her goal is to speak directly to the inner life of her viewers, help them get in touch with who they are, and bring them enjoyment.

About the Exhibition

Agora Gallery is pleased to announce Idiosyncratic Expressions, a group exhibition featuring forteen artists who look at the world and see something fantastic, in every sense of the word. Idiosyncratic Expressions offers the entire range of observational to surreal to non-representational, in painting and sculpture. One participant offers an extreme close-up of figures and the things they leave behind – clothing, boats, flowers arranged in vases – at angles no one could achieve naturally. Another depicts pure textures floating through space in a novel three-dimensional use of paint. Still another paints scenes that can never be: a unicorn lying at a woman’s feet, or a watering hole full of animals in the middle of a city street. Though their creators come from all around the globe and all levels of artistic education, the works in this exhibition share boldness of color, subject matter, and purpose. Each artist’s perspective is unique and highly personal to their own experience.
