Mea Duke

Mea Duke is a Providence, RI based painter, printmaker, and sculptor who grounds her research-based and interdisciplinary practice within the humorous exploration between the lines of “painting an object” and “painting as an object.” Rather than make this statement, Duke finds it more satisfying to ask further questions and point out these objects and moments in our everyday lives. The more one uncovers the relationship and materiality between works, the more this interest is revealed. Duke received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Rhode Island. Duke is currently a teaching assistant at Harvard University in the Department of Art, Film and Visual Studies. Duke has also held positions as a Postgraduate Teaching Fellow at Tufts University and as adjunct professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Montserrat College of Art. Duke’s work has been featured in serveral publications, including New American Paintings, Studio Visit Magazine, and Hamptons Art Hub. Her work has been includeed in various exhibitions at institutions including AREA Gallery, The Bristol Art Museum, Northeastern University, Montserrat College of Art, Art Market & Design Fair (Bridgehampton), VSOP Projects, HUBweek Boston, Fort Point Arts Gallery, and the Boston Center for the Arts. _____ Mea Duke’s work is custom framed and packed (crated) for shipping by Providence Picture Frame.
