Rena Sternberg Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of work
by Sarah Weber. Sarah graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009 and received her Masters of Fine Arts
from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2011. She recently finished residencies
at ACRE in Wisconsin and Ox-Bow in Michigan, where she was awarded a Joan
Mitchell Foundation Scholarship.
Using
various materials such as athletic jerseys, gouache, and metallic paper, Sarah
creates paintings dealing with
adolescent issues that follow us through adult life. “By culling images from her high school
yearbooks as well as All-American Iconography, she accesses the inadequacies
and insecurities of youth.” She builds up layers through aggressive
mark-making, such as burning, cutting and punching holes. Her work has been purchased by the owners of
the Miami Heat basketball team and is exhibited at the American Airlines Arena
in Miami.
