Please join Muriel Guepin Gallery to meet their featured artists and listen to what inspires them. Current Group Show Featuring the Artwork of: Elizabeth Duffy, Inger Grytting, Morgan Maclean & Anne Mourier Attal.

Obsession, repetition, transcendence and a reliance on materials often taken for granted feature prominently in these artists’ work.

Elizabeth Duffy creates installations and collages with often overlooked materials: notebook reinforcement labels, security envelopes, and paper maps. In her words, she chooses materials that “have a poignancy for their inevitable obsolescence.” Her work has a quiet, almost book-like presence.

In graphite on paper, Inger Grytting draws layers of fine lines, which form densely constructed patterns. She describes her work as visual diary entries of psychological states.

Anne Mourier Attal, a photographer and mixed media artist, is exhibiting a series of photographic diptychs called “The Little Signs,” which look like paintings made with light. In this series, Attal uses light to connect with the universe, capturing the “signs that light creates when it plays and interacts with nature or man-made objects.” Her resulting photographs are soft, atmospheric, and abstract.

Morgan MacLean, a sculptor, carves wood by hand, without the use of power tools, drawing inspiration from his urban environment. His sculptures have a quality of craftsmanship rooted in history, and yet are compellingly modern and mysterious in form. His art focuses on capturing and archiving an object’s inherent form, while freeing that form to transcend its essence into something curiously unexpected.
