Mary DeVincentis

Painter Mary DeVincentis employs a deeply personal iconography to investigate the dilemmas and mysteries of existence. Her paintings depict people, animals, and elements of nature as equal in significance and numinosity. Her 2021 solo exhibition, Alone in This Together, at M. David and Co. in NYC, was inspired by our heightened awareness of mortality during the past two years of pandemic living. Previous solo exhibitions include Out There, also at M. David and Co. in 2019, and Dwellers on the Threshold at David and Schweitzer Contemporary in 2018. On-going series include Dark Matters, paintings that investigate the shadowy side of human experience, and Sin Eaters, works which depict society's saints, martyrs, scapegoats, and outcasts. DeVincentis earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Maryland Institute College of Art and was awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Printmaking from St. Martin's College of Art in London, UK. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in many public and private collections. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
