Sara Sizer b. 1957

Biography
Sara Sizer

° Dallas, US
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

 

Sizer works with "loaded" materials which have a life, a past, or a cultural reference, relying on the material itself to contribute to the sense of a painting. Materials can become narrative when they are “left to their own devices". Like people who grow up in a specific family, in a certain country, operating with inborn traits and speaking a given language; the interaction of very particular materials can tell a story. 

Recent notable exhibitions were at Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg and Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz in Chemnitz amongst others.

Sara Sizer is represented by Gallery Sofie Van de Velde.
