Distant from reality

Uvdeshmukh Uncategorized November 4, 2024

Mernet Larsen’s paintings are simultaneously rooted in and distant from reality. Taking inspiration from the geometric abstractions of El Lissitzky and the narrative stylization of 12th Century Japanese and early Renaissance paintings, Larsen’s vertiginous spaces often rendered in reverse perspective, and hard edged figures offer familiar version of reality that is analogous and parallel to our own. Developed over the last 40 years, Larsen’s independent and meticulous approach to representational painting “reaches toward, not from, life.” — Mernet Larsen (born 1940 in Houghton, Michigan) is an artist and Professor Emeritus at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida. She is represented by James Cohan Gallery, New York. Larsen has been active as an artist since the late 1970s. She is a painter of figurative narratives in highly abstracted style.Larsen lives and works in Jackson Heights, New York and Tampa.
