Maureen McQuillan
Pictured in front of “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” her permanent public art installation, completed 2018, which spans three sides of the 36th Avenue N/W station in Astoria, Queens, and was commissioned by Metropolitan Transit Authority/Arts & Design.
Maureen McQuillan creates process-focused, system-based paintings from multiple layers of ink and acrylic polymers that convey a deep but elusive sense of space. Vibrantly hued, she uses rippling, wave-like linear elements and undulating rounded forms to suggest shapes in nature as well as the human body. Her systematic approach to color results in a luminous and complex optical mix reflecting her interest in how our perceptions of color have changed as technology has advanced.
Born and raised in New York City, Maureen McQuillan is a graduate of Columbia University and the New York Studio School. Since the early 1990s she has been exhibiting her work in solo and group shows in galleries and museums throughout the United States as well as in France, the UK, Costa Rica, and Hong Kong.
McQuillan’s work has been reviewed and reproduced in many publications, among them The New York Times, The New York Daily News, The Brooklyn Rail, Two Coats of Paint, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Artnews, Architectural Digest, and Art on Paper; and her work is held in public and private collections all over the world.
