Biography
Formal play typifies Pam Glick’s practice. Hallmarked by her interest in the universal language of abstraction, Glick describes her painting process “as a playground that I set up.” Calligraphic pencil marks disrupt the paint, undermining the grid structure of the canvas; the layers of mark-making adding a cartographical aspect to the work. In The New York Times, Roberta Smith described the paintings as ‘beautiful castoffs, relics of better times, which adds gravity to their improvisational flair.’
In 1995, Glick moved to Vermont to focus on her young family. During this time, her practice predominately centred around collage and works on paper. In 2019 Glick was awarded an artist residency at BuBu, Budapest, Hungary, culminating in an exhibition at Budapest Art Factory. Glick’s work is included in several collections including Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York; The Broad, Los Angeles, California; Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, New York; The Eli & Edythe Broad Foundation, Los Angeles, California; Deutsche Bank, New York and Citi Bank, New York.
