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.
