COMPLETING THE PUZZLE: MEG ATKINSON ON SENTIMENTALITY, PROCESS, AND NEW YORK

By Jessica Ross

Anyone will tell you New York has changed over the past 40 years. The city is no longer the gritty, (albeit dangerous) sanctuary for artists and punks it once was. Whether you are on board with the so-called “mallification” of New York, one thing is for certain: artists will continue to flock to New York time and time again because of its unique ability to inspire and cultivate multiple generations of creatives.

Artist Meg Atkinson has been in Brooklyn since the early 80’s. With her considerable time there, she’s taken the necessary time to hone and develop her craft as a painter. Her works are specially constructed to create a world that is distinctly both psychedelic and rigid. Layered piece by piece, her paintings compose a bizarre arena of color and shape. Each work feels like an active living organism, with dripping borders around a kaleidoscopic center. Constantly developing her style and growing as an artist, Atkinson has been painting for nearly forty years and continues to make work out of the incessant need to create, just as New York dictates.

We recently swung by her studio in Brooklyn to talk about her favorite New York moments, the sentimentality of objects, and how processes take time to develop.
