Margaret Evangeline was born in 1943 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was the first recipient of a MFA from the University of New Orleans. After graduating, Evangeline relocated to New York City and settled in Manhattan to become a contemporary painter, sculptor, and installation artist. Evangeline's body of work consists primarily of shot metal sculptural works and large-scale installations that provide an abstract reflection on collective memory, loss, growth, and the passage of time with a heavy southern heritage influence. Evangeline is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, 2001, and a New York Foundation for the Arts Grant, 1996. Evangeline's work has received wide coverage in publications such as Art in America, The New York Times, The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune, Art Newspaper, and ArtNews. Her work has been exhibited in individual and group context at such prominent institutions as The Drawing Center, Art in General, Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, Palm Beach ICA, the Hafnarborg, Reykjavik, Iceland, the The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU, and the Taipei Museum in Taiwan. |
