Andrea Dezsö Exhibition
Nancy Margolis Gallery
This event has ended.
A multi-talented artist, exceptional for her ability to move between mediums, New York-based Dezsö relies on traditional media to express the non-traditional. Beautiful and outlandish, mystical and absurd, Dezsö’s intricate organic designs and unusual nature-inspired landscapes tell stories that weave together psychological, historical and ornamental themes. Andrea Dezsö’s second solo exhibition at Nancy Margolis Gallery will feature a range of works, notable for their extraordinary detail and enigmatic narratives, including colorful marker paintings, single pane etched glass panels, etched glass tunnel sculptures, and original illustrations from the recent Princeton University Press publication of The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition by Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm, Translated and edited by Jack Zipes.
Andrea Dezsö earned both her BFA in graphic design and typography and her MFA in visual communications from the Hungarian University of Design, Budapest. Her work has been exhibited in collections nationally and internationally, including the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Rice University Art Gallery, Houston; and Fujikawa Kirie Art Museum, Japan, Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield, CT. Dezsö and her work have also been reviewed by Art Forum, Art News, The New York Times, The Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, PBS, and New York Magazine. In 2007, Dezsö was awarded Best American Public Art for her large-scale mosaic, Community Garden, installed in the Bedford Park Boulevard/Lehman College subway station in the Bronx, New York City. Dezsö is also an award-winning illustrator, and her illustrations have been featured in many books, CD covers, and magazines. She is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Hampshire College, Amherst, MA. Previously, she served on the faculty of the Parsons School of Design, New York.
