Summer Remembers Winter

Pace University Art Gallery is pleased to present Summer Remembers Winter, a solo exhibition by painter Siobhan McBride. The exhibition explores disjointed spaces, memory, and experiences shaped by dislocation. In Summer Remembers Winter, McBride unveils a new body of work that deepens her longstanding investigation of disjointed spaces that are, in the artist’s words, “prickly with static.” Her layered, patchwork scenes echo her lived experience as a Korean-born, U.S.-raised adoptee and reflect the complexities of an identity shaped by dislocation and the transformative impact of her recent return journeys to her country of birth. McBride begins her process by photographing everyday environments, later reinterpreting these source images through gouache, paint markers, and colored pencil. The resulting works move beyond representations of constructed spaces to capture the emotional volatility of attempting—and often failing—to navigate them. McBride is a Professor of Art at Borough of Manhattan Community College–CUNY. She has received numerous grants and residencies, including awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Lighthouse Works, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace Program, PSC–CUNY Research Fund, Yaddo, Marble House Project, Jentel, Vermont Studio Center, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program, the Sam and Adele Golden Artist Residency, and Horanggasy Creative Studio in Gwangju, Korea. Her work has been exhibited widely at venues such as Long Story Short NYC, NurtureArt, Standard Space, the Roswell Museum and Art Center, the Zillman Art Museum, and Horangassy’s Glass Polygon in Gwangju, and has been reviewed in publications including Hyperallergic and Two Coats of Paint.
