Biography

“I thought, well, 40 years later let’s see how I use that grid. The earlier ones were more segmented. The new ones have more continuous linear crossing over and trying to be spontaneous and asymmetrical. The space is vertical, but it also looks like aerial space. The newer paintings are much looser and more transparent than the ones from the 1970s.”

Arlene Slavin is a sculptor, painter, and print-maker who also  creates large-scale public art commissions. She earned a BFA from Cooper Union and an MFA from Pratt Institute. She has been a visiting critic at University of Pennsylvania Graduate Art School, Syracuse University, the Pratt Institute, and Skowhegan Art School. She received a National Endowment Grant in Printmaking. Her work has been exhibited in the Whitney Museum Biennial and many other museums and galleries throughout the country. She is included in numerous corporate and public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fogg Art Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, Orlando Art Museum, and Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton.

Slavin lives and works in New York City and Wainscott, New York.
