Mary Temple - April 2024
Mary Temple may be best known for her immersive trompe l'oeil installations—subtle room-sized paintings of light and shadows of trees, flowers and shrubs. However, for the past ten years the artist has built a body of work on canvas and paper which both departs from and amplifies the installation work.
Mary Temple may be best known for her immersive trompe l'oeil installations—subtle room-sized paintings of light and shadows of trees, flowers and shrubs. However, for the past ten years the artist has built a body of work on canvas and paper which both departs from and amplifies the installation work. While the more recent paintings share the landscape as cornerstone, they expand in color, mark and complexity of surface. Temple has exhibited her work internationally and throughout the United States. She has completed commissioned projects for solo and group institutional exhibitions that include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, SF, CA; SculptureCenter, LIC, Queens, NY; Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, MA; The Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; Rice Gallery, Houston, TX; Western Bridge, Seattle, WA; The Drawing Center, NY, NY; Bunkamura Museum, Tokyo, Japan and the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution in D.C. among many others.
