Maura Segal’s abstract works conjure a delicate simplicity. Blocks of color languidly splay behind thin meandering lines and freeform fluid curves. Yet upon closer investigation, the artist’s focal craftsmanship is revealed by the foundational background textures, intricately hand-cut patterns and strips of paper laid below and atop paint. This concealment of an overall complexity in Segal’s detailed approach is inspired by her love of modern architecture and minimalism; both of which inform her work constructively and aesthetically. Segal has a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from California State University, Northridge. Her work has exhibited throughout the U.S. and is in numerous public and private collections. Segal resides and works in Venice, California. Education:Graduated in 1992 with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from California State University, Northridge.Solo Exhibitions:2019/ “Linear Motion,” Matthew Rachman Gallery, Chicago, Illinois.2018/Splash Exhibition, Ann Connelly Fine Art, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.2017/ “Hidden Pathways,” Kobalt Gallery, Provincetown, Massachusetts.Selected Group Exhibitions:2022/ “Currents,” FP Contemporary, Los Angeles, California.“In The Gallery,” Julie Nester Gallery, Park City, Utah.Group Art Show, Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas.Group Art Show, Hohmann Fine Art, Palm Desert, California.2021/ “Good Company,” Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, Connecticut.“Summer Selects,” Addison Fine Art, Delray, Florida.“Black & White,” Addison Fine Art, Delray, Florida.Group Art Show, Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas.2020/ “Keep it Simple,” Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, Connecticut.“Contrasts,” Julie Nester Gallery, Park City, Utah.2 person show, Hohmann Fine Art, Palm Desert, California.“Outside the Lines,” Addison Gallery, Delray Beach, Florida.“Art Salon,” Hohmann Fine Art, Palm Desert, California.2019/ Group Art Show, Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas.2019/ “That Summer Feeling,” Addison Gallery, Delray Beach, Florida.“Art Palm Springs,” Palm Springs, California.2018/ “Local Color,” Hyatt Place Pasadena, Slate Art, Pasadena, California.“Walking on Sunshine,” Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, Connecticut.“Summer Collection,” The Ritz-Carlton, Slate Art, Lake Tahoe, California“Coming to the Surface,” Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, Connecticut.2017/ “MODERNA,” Slate Art, Oakland, California.Group Art Show, Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas.“What’s New With You?” Kobalt Gallery, Provincetown, Massachusetts.“Contemporary Art Fair,” Silvermine Art Center, Westport, Connecticut.“Spring Mixer,” Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, Connecticut.“SERIOUS/play,” Matthew Rachman Gallery, Chicago, Illinois.“Lines at Play,” Sozo Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina.“Palm Springs Fine Art Fair,” Palm Springs, California.2015/ “Affordable Art Fair Singapore.” Singapore.Collections:Omni CNN, Atlanta, Georgia.Red Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.DC JW Marriott, Presidential Suites, Washington D.C.The Hotel at Avalon, Alpharetta, Georgia.Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, Los Angeles, California.Albamarie facility, Charlotte, North Carolina.
