Margaret R. Thompson
Sky Mirror, a solo exhibition of work by New Mexico based artist, Margaret R. Thompson, opens Saturday December 7, 2024. Through the subject matter and materiality of the work, Thompson’s multimedia paintings become documents of the artist’s spiritual and physical connection to the natural landscape.
About the Artist:
Margaret R. Thompson is a painter living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Visual Arts at Eckerd College with a concentration in Latin American and socio-cultural anthropology. Filtering reality through her own mythology, she combines responses to the remote beauty of her home in New Mexico, explorations of mysticism, and a call for environmental intimacy into small to large symbolist paintings. Each piece is a tapestry of observations from the artist’s daily life that she weaves into a story, inviting viewers to find their own tales within.
Margaret Thompson’s paintings have been exhibited at My Pet Ram Gallery (Santa Barbara, CA and NYC), Smoke The Moon Gallery and Title Gallery (Santa Fe, NM), Arusha Gallery (Edinburgh, London, Bruton, UK), False Cast Gallery (San Diego, CA), Red Arrow (Nashville, TN), Visionary Art Projects (NYC), Wilder Gallery (London, UK), Duran Mashaal Gallery (Montreal, QB), Gallery II (Tel Aviv, Israel), Tyger Tyger Gallery (Asheville, NC), Art Athina (Athens, Greece), Zonamaco Contemporary Art Fair with Red Arrow (Mexico City), Lamb Gallery (London, UK), CAN Contemporary Art Fair Ibiza, MAIA Contemporary (Mexico City) with forthcoming shows in New Mexico, Mexico, and the UK.
