Notes on Looking Contemporary Art from Los Angeles
A few words and images: Margie Livingston at LACE


2009 Exhibition: Read about her in the blogs!


Suzanne Beal "Northwest artist Margie Livingston has long been admired for her paintings of objects from the natural world. But in "Riff: New Paintings" she proves she's a sculptor as well - albeit a sculptor of paint.

Jen Graves: "Yes, Livingston's wearing her debts on her sleeve in these new works, but let's see where she's going."

Regina Hackett: "She uses it to dissect her representations, to pool her resources and to chart a lyrical course through light, space, form and time."

Ryan Molenkamp: "Call them painting sculptures, sculptural paintings, paint installations...call them what you will, they are delightful and interesting to look at, which is no easy thing. Check it out."

Joey Veltkamp: "And what began as a happy accident (as much great art does), has now been developed into a really interesting new body of 3-D work."
