Sarah Dineen is a New York City based artist. Her paintings are architectural in nature, representing structures but depicting them in poetic visual forms. "My work focuses on the physicality of painting and its capacity to echo the properties of sculpture and architecture. It depicts large-scale abstract forms referencing poetry, the human body, microphones and armor. Themes of protection, personal power, love and connection run throughout the work. Architectural strategies like scale and repetition are employed alongside textures that emulate protective coverings like stone, cement, metal and bark."
Dineen holds a BFA from Montserrat College of Art and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has shown her work widely in the United States and Germany, including Pulse Contemporary Art Fair, New York, Rick Wester Fine Art, New York, LeRoy Neiman Gallery, New York, Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, Edward Hopper House Museum, Nyack, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Direktorenhaus and Johanssen Gallery in Berlin. Dineen has been featured in New American Paintings and Hyperallergic. She is part of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program in Midtown Manhattan, and has been invited to be a resident artist at the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland, Canada and the DNA Artist Residency in Provincetown during the summer of 2021.
