Megan Solis’ work splinters and bleeds into drawing, sculpture, video and performance. Recently obtaining her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Solis strives for a forceful intimacy with her audiences questioning the communal pursuit of happiness. Solis has authored and birthed her own heroine, Glory West, a love-sick blonde Texan, who navigates themes of desperation and loneliness creating concerts of unrequited lust, precarious displays of both confidence and self-conscious portraits of love for her fans. West’s odyssey encapsulates a monstrous feminine mystique, holding tightly to both self-inflicted hysteria and hapless horror. Solis has participated in the Hello Studio Residency in San Antonio, TX and the Arteles Artist Residency in Haukijärvi, Finland. She has exhibited her work at the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, TX, The Invisible Gallery in Houston, TX, the McNay Art Museum and Revenant Gallery in San Antonio, TX, the CICA Museum in South Korea, and the Freedman Gallery in Reading, PA. Most recently she was invited to perform at Sweet Pass Sculpture Park in Dallas, TX and is an awardee of Red Bull’s Microgrant program 2020 cycle.
