Summer Wheat is a contemporary American artist born in 1977 in Oklahoma City.[1] She currently lives in Queens, NY and works in Brooklyn, NY.[2][3]
Since 2002, Wheat has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. and internationally.[1][4] In 2010, Wheat was awarded a year-long residency with Triangle Arts Association in Brooklyn, NY.[2] In 2016 she created a site-specific, large-scale installation for Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.[5][4] In 2017, Wheat was named as one of "10 Artists to Watch at Frieze London".[6] In 2016, she was presented as recipient of the 2016 New York NADA Artadia Award, which is presented every year to one artist that is exhibiting at NADA New York.[7]
Wheat developed a painting technique whereby she pushes acrylic paint through framed pieces of aluminum mesh; this technique was described by The Art in America journal as "completely novel".[7][8] Her 2018 exhibition at the Andrew Edlin Gallery in NY was chosen by Artforum as a Critics' Pick.[9]
