  • Samantha Bittman was born in 1982, in Chicago and she lives and works in Brooklyn. She received her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2004 and her M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010.

Overview

Ronchini is proud to present our second solo exhibition of all new works by the American artist Samantha Bittman. The exhibition features 13 new wall based works which are made in Bittman’s signature style, a brilliant amalgamation of weaving and painting.

Bittman takes inspiration from painters such as Agnes Martin, Bridget Riley, Frank Stella, and Sol Lewitt, as well as the fibre artists such as Sheila Hicks and Anni Albers.
