Meredyth Sparks
Born in 1972 in Panama City, États-Unis
Meredyth Sparks makes collages from photographs with familiar imagery related to pop and rock music icons of the 1970s and 1980s. Her work combines portraits of famous musicians with recycled materials: aluminium, vinyl, or glitter are all embellishments that she uses to modify the symbolic content of the images and recast them. By blurring the line between figuration and abstraction, the artist gives priority to the formal structure of the work over the identification of the subjects, thus coming closer to the creative process of the Russian constructivists of the early twentieth century.
Born in 1972 in Panama City, Florida, Meredyth Sparks holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and a Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College, New York. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
