Arlene Shechet
A multidisciplinary sculptor, Arlene Shechet made her first series of woodcuts at the Neiman Center in 2017. Shechet employs wood repeatedly as an element in her sculptural work and explores it here as a matrix for her relief prints. The series transforms her painted three-dimensional sculptures into two dimensionals shapes printed in a vibrant combination of colors.
Shechet (b. 1951) lives and works in New York City and the Hudson Valley. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston in 2105; The Frick Museum, NY in 2016; and The Phillips Collection, Washington DC in 2016. Shechet was commissioned to create a large scale, site-specific work by Madison Square Park Conservancy, NY in 2018. She has been the recipient of numerous awards including the John S. Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant and the CAA Artist Award for Distinguished Body of Work. Shechet’s work is in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum, NY; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LA; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; and The National Gallery, Washington DC, among others. She lives and works in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
