Maggie Sangler's Art Takes Shape in Nashville

A New Solo Show at Modfellows Art Gallery

Modfellows Art Gallery in Nashville will be exhibiting a new solo show called Shapes, with artwork from Nashville native Maggie Sanger. The opening reception will be on Saturday, May 1 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and the show will run through May 29.


“When we opened the gallery in Nashville, our plan was to feature art we weren't seeing around town,” says Richard Modica, who owns Modfellows Art Gallery along with wife Julie. “Upon visiting Maggie's studio, we were immediately impressed by her execution, scale and style.”

“Rich was kind of the first person to encourage me to take my canvas work seriously,” says Maggie. “He is super supportive and really encouraging.” Shapes features large flat-shaped fiberboard cutouts. “I’m exploring a lot of things in this series, such as how we perceive the space around us and how we interact with the space around us while dealing with perception, truth and reality. These are op art pieces, so it’s in a really playful way.


“I think we create our own reality as we move through space and experience it with our own unique lenses, so the cool part is what you perceive is up to you and it can be totally different than how someone else is experiencing the same piece, at the same exact time, in the same exact space.”


“Everyone has a different reaction to art,” says Rich. “I feel that the unique factor in Maggie's work is scale, shape, color, and of course, her execution. Hard-edge paintings must be executed flawlessly to work; then the viewer can find refuge in a meditative space of form, color and line.”
