BRUSSELS.- Maruani Mercier announced the representation of New York-based artist Pam Glick, in joint collaboration with Stephen Friedman.

In her paintings and works on paper, Pam Glick fuses improvisation with intent awareness of colour, rhythm and structure. Building upon her decades-long exploration of abstraction, Glick underscores the linear architecture of each composition with cursive lines that pulse and zig-zag across the pictorial field. Echoing automatic writing, her repeating loops project a sense of physical endurance and uninterrupted movement.

Working in close proximity to the canvas, Glick embraces the free momentum of the hand and body, allowing gesture to become an authentic and immediate expression of lived experience. Executed in series, the works probe the possibilities of abstraction, alluding to the passage of time and to recurring patterns found in nature and the human body.

A selection of paintings by Pam Glick has been included in our presentation for BRAFA, taking place from January 25 to February 1, 2026, at Brussels Expo.

Born in Albany, Georgia in 1956, Glick studied Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1980, where she was a recipient of the Florence Leif Award. She received her MFA from the University of Buffalo in 2019. Glick’s paintings were widely exhibited during the 1980s and 1990s, most notably with solo shows at White Columns, Wolff Gallery and Hirschl and Adler in New York and Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1995, Glick moved to Vermont to focus on her young family. During this time, her practice predominately centred around collage and works on paper. Glick had a second solo exhibition at White Columns, New York in 2016. In 2019 Glick was awarded an artist residency at BuBu, Budapest, Hungary, culminating in an exhibition at Budapest Art Factory. Glick’s work is included in several collections including Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York; The Broad, Los Angeles, California; Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, New York; The Eli & Edythe Broad Foundation, Los Angeles, California; Deutsche Bank, New York and Citi Bank, New York.
