Szabo Shows First Solo Exhibition at Walter Art Gallery
Walter Art Gallery will showcase the solo exhibition of Marilyn Szabo entitled “Ligature.” It will be her first fine art exhibition comprised of 10 large-scale images on vinyl and featuring surrealist imagery created by Szabo. The exhibit is named “Ligature” because of how the art is created by two or more things, which appear to be connected and form a single symbol. She portrays this by using the repetition of the same face throughout all the images.
“The face, which reoccurs in all the prints, represents both a male and a female; the face is neither one,” said Szabo. “One should accept its ambiguity, which in a sense is the basic point.”
Szabo’s work can be found in both public and private collections throughout the United States and has been featured in several publications including “Black and White,” “Sun Magazine” and “Java.”
She also served as the curator and contributing photographer for “At Work in Arizona: the First 100 Years.”
The exhibition will be guest curated by Nicole Royse of Royse Contemporary. It will be on display through January 6.
