Meg Lipke, Meso-Tracings, acrylic on custom stretcher,  72 x 60 in.

Join resident artist Meg Lipke for an artist talk in which she will explore the role research of archaeological artifacts, specifically pictograms, marks, handprints, and symbols found on Paleolithic cave walls, plays in her painting and sculptural processes. While in San Antonio, Lipke will do extensive research at the Gault site, famous worldwide for its documentation of the Clovis period, which lasted from around 13,400 to 12,800 years ago. Deep history and grand compositions have been endemic to her work’s graphic eclecticism. “Perhaps it is due to this holistic approach the works are both free and fraught in equal measure-as if hopefulness and resignation are acknowledged as both constant and coexistent-and in this way Lipke provides us with succinct indices of our time,” wrote Broadway Gallery in a recent exhibition press release.

We hope you will join us for this fascinating talk!
