MIRA DANCY

SHOWER CURTAIN

Brooklyn-based artist Mira Dancy is drawn to the

timeless quality of painting, seeing it as a medium

rife with ghostly bodies and gestures alike, and

she likes to push against historical subjects

with a sense of personal awakening. Her female

nudes, which are the center of attention in her

work, are strong and energetic, as if they were

fierce Amazons or mighty goddesses. Strong

colors dominate her paintings, cutting in and out,

and guiding our experience of the body or bodies

conjured.

Mira Dancy was born in England in 1979. She now

lives and work in Brooklyn, NY. Dancy received

her M.F.A. from Columbia University in 2009,

and her B.A. from Bard College in 2001. She

has had recent solo shows at the Night Gallery,

Los Angeles, Chapter NY, New York, Galerie

Hussenot, Paris, Lumber Room, Portland, OR,

and the Yuz Museum in Shanghai.
