Lucy Sallick
Lucy Sallick finds meaning in the richness of family history and first hand experience. Making work in painting, artist books and sculpture, Sallick has been practicing for over 50 years, with studios in Connecticut and Maine. Her idea of self as something built through a web of associations collected through time, as descendant and ancestor, is core to her making. In her prints, watercolors and oil paintings, Sallick will often produce pictures within pictures—recreating a work she had previously created within a still life, or combining views of familiar shorelines in uneven grids across giant sheets of paper. Genres of still life and landscape interweave with images from home and studio: clay sculptures by the children; groceries on the table; needlepoints resting on a pillow; paint tubes, brushes, and sketches of landscapes on the studio floor, sometimes arranged, sometimes not. Her artist books and sculptures explore the materiality and narrative of these connections with an inquisitive authenticity. Ultimately an exploration of the self as an entity constructed from myriad parts from across time and space, Sallick’s studio records actions and thoughts as the past moves into the present.
Sallick (b. 1939, US) studied at the Art Students League and Corcoran School of Art in the 1960s. Recent exhibitions include Stellarhighway, Brooklyn, NY; Fortnight Institute, New York, NY; and, Fairfield University Art Museum, Fairfield, CT. Historical exhibitions include solo shows at Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockport, ME; SOHO2O Gallery, New York, NY; G.W. Einstein Co., Inc., New York, NY; and Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ; and, group shows at American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, New York, NY; The Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Ogunquit, ME; ARTSPACE, New Haven, CT; Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT; Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT; Museu de Arte Contemporanea da Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil; and, Bronx Museum of Art, Bronx, NY. She has received awards from Connecticut Commission on the Arts, Silvermine Guild, and the Hazen Foundation, completed a residency at Weir Farm, and has been written about in Art in America and The New York Times. Public collections include Bank of America Corporation, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Bruce Museum, General Mills, Inc., Housatonic Museum of Art, Norwalk Hospital, Prudential Insurance Corporation, Rahr West Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art, and United States Department of State. Sallick will be included in the upcoming survey exhibition "The Aldrich Decennial: I am what is around me,” opening at The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in June 2026. The artist maintains studios in Connecticut and Maine.
