Soizick Meister has been painting the figure of Mr. M for many years, and her body of work continues her homage to the surrealists by placing this uncertain, exploring dreamer into contemplative and humorous situations. Mr. M represents the universal desire to come to know ourselves in the face of the enormity of the world. Sometimes melancholy and uncertain, sometimes sentimental we see memories of childhood made visible by Meister's brush, revealing a duality of vision many of us share by reaching for our hopes while remembering a simpler past.
