Nyeema Morgan (she/her/they) is a visual artist working between sculpture, drawing, and print-based media. Her works are characterized by an interplay between text, image, and object. Through references to familiar cultural material (popular jokes, canonical artworks, recipes, etc.), her works point to the soft aesthetic power of systems of knowledge, information production, and the mechanics of representation. Solo and two-person exhibitions of her work have been presented at the Philadelphia Art Alliance; the Viewing Room at Marlborough Contemporary, New York; the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, CO; Patron Gallery, Chicago; and Grant Wahlquist Gallery, Portland, ME. Group exhibitions include shows at the Drawing Center, New York; Galerie Jeanroch Dard, Paris; the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, ME; and the CSS Bard Galleries, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. Morgan earned degrees from the Cooper Union and California College of the Arts and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work is held in public collections at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Bowdoin College Museum of Art; and the Worcester Art Museum, MA.
