Hover: Maria Szakats
February 19 – March 29, 2025
Megan Mulrooney is thrilled to present Hover, an exhibition of textile works by Hungarian Romaniaborn, Paris-based artist Maria Szakats. Her first solo exhibition in the United States, Hover evokes a state of suspended transformation, where images seem to form and dissolve in a perpetual flux. Her embroidered and brushed mohair surfaces create compositions that resist stillness—hovering between presence and disappearance.
At the core of Hover is an exploration of floral motifs—orchids, peonies, dahlias, fire lilies, and tulips— woven into a personal and allegorical language. Flowers, long imbued with symbolic weight in art and literature, have served as emblems of transience, beauty, and mourning. In Szakats’ work, they become agents of transformation, rooted in the artist’s own deep memory.
