Jackie Lipton
Eileen Myles, well-known and much-admired poet and art critic, wrote an essay "Lavish Interiors", about Jackie Lipton's paintings, for the publication Provincetown Arts. She discusses Ms. Lipton's creative process and her need to be in the studio where she equates the two: painting/ her survival. Concerning her motivation for painting, Jackie Lipton says her intention in doing art and painting as an idea is to touch you and shake you.
In Visible/Invisible, a show of monoprints, Lipton shows how the
experience of painting itself becomes alive.
Jackie Lipton has an active career spanning decades. Lipton has received
grants and awards for painting including the Pollock Krasner Foundation
Grant (three times), the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation's
special funds awards and a NYFA boot camp award. She was awarded
fellowships and residencies at the MacDowell Colony for the Arts, the
Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Cummmington Community of the Arts
and the Boreas Gallery's studio residency in Reykjavik, Iceland. Her
selected exhibitions include the Whitney Museum, Condeso/Lawler Gallery,
Corinne Robbins Gallery, the Art Resources Transfer Gallery, Gallery
Boreas, and the Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown, Mass. She is
currently represented by the Schoolhouse Gallery where a show of paintings
and prints is planned for summer of 2016. Lipton works in her studio in
Chelsea and lives in Westbeth Artist Housing with her life partner J
Christopher Bolton and their two special cats.
