Sally Curcio: Recognition

 

March 30 - April 27

Sally Curcio's art recovers the moment before recognition. The viewer regains an innocent perspective and thus transforms the everyday into the artistic. Through re-contextualization and the visual pleasure of her work, she makes familiar objects new again which allows for a deeper understanding of a topic.

Sally Curcio studied at Williams College and the American College in London, England graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in painting at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Since then she has shown her work extensively throughout the U.S. and in Cameroon, W. Africa.
In 2010 she received the Blanche E. Colman grant award. Martha Wilson, of Franklin Furnace Inc., selected her work for the Brooklyn A.I.R. Gallery’s “At Her Age” competition exhibition. She received the Gallery Award (1st prize) from the New Art 2006: National Competition for Emerging Artists from the MPG Contemporary Gallery in Boston (juror Raphaela Platow, Chief Curator, Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University).
She is currently represented by Fresh Paint Art Advisors in Culver City, CA. Her work can also be viewed in the flat files of Amy Morton Fine Arts in Washington DC, and Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, MA. Curcio maintains her studio in Northampton, Massachusetts.
