About
Madeleine Soloway is a recognized interdisciplinary artist distinguished by her extensive background in photography and printmaking. Soloway’s work deeply engages contemporary issues such as global instability, disinformation, and political upheaval. Through her nuanced examination of the collective narratives surrounding social and political divisions, Solway’s work illuminates the complex interplay between humanity and the natural world.
In her multi-layered, digitized monoprints and photographic images of houses, landscapes, and water, Soloway explores the profound vulnerability inherent in our intricate relationship with a rapidly changing and precarious planet. In her Gender, Dating, and Politics Series, Soloway scrutinizes the weaponization of language used to sow discord and consolidate power. She incorporates direct quotations sourced from speeches, news reports, and social media—including Supreme Court Justices, political leaders, and other high-profile public figures—superimposed over images of underwear. This layered juxtaposition highlights and underscore the current societal polarization and division of our time.
Originally from Boston, Madeleine Soloway has been an exhibiting artist in the Atlanta area for the past 34 years and was a former member of the art faculty at The Paideia School for 25 years.

With several solo exhibitions at the Jeremy Stone Gallery, San Francisco, in the 1980’s, Soloway’s work landed in many important private SF Bay Area collections and developed a strong following.
