Mernet Larsen (born 1940) is an American artist known for idiosyncratic, disorienting narrative paintings that depict a highly abstracted, parallel world of enigmatic and mundane scenarios. [1] [2] [3] Since 2000, her work has been characterized by flat, origami-like figures composed of plank-like shapes and blocky volumes [4] [5] [6] and non-illusionistic space with a dislocated, aggregated vision freely combining incompatible pictorial systems—reverse, isometric, parallel, and conventional Renaissance perspectives—and various visual distortions. [7] [8] [9] Critics have described her approach as "a heady, unlikely brew" [10] taking compositional cues from wide-ranging sources, including the modernist geometries of Constructivist artists like El Lissitzky, Japanese Bunraku puppet theater and emaki narrative scrolls, early Chinese landscapes, and Indian miniatures and palace paintings. [11] [12] Roberta Smith wrote that Larsen's works "navigate the divide between abstraction and representation with a form of geometric figuration that owes less to Cubo-Futurism than to de Chirico, architectural rendering and early Renaissance painting of the Sienese kind. They relish human connection and odd, stretched out, sometimes contradictory perspectival effects, often perpetuated by radical shifts in scale." [1]

Larsen has exhibited at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, [13] National Museum of Women in the Arts, [14] White Cube (London), [15] Israel Museum (Jerusalem), [16] Tampa Museum of Art and Art Gallery of New South Wales (Australia), among other venues. [17] Her work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, [18] Los Angeles County Museum of Art, [19] Museum of Fine Arts, Boston [20] and Walker Art Center, among others. [21] She lives and works in Tampa, Florida and Jackson Heights, New York with her husband, artist Roger Clay Palmer. [4] [22]

Early life and career

Larsen was born in 1940 in Houghton, Michigan and spent her youth in Chicago and then Gainesville, Florida. [23] By high school she was interested in contemporary art and painting. [13] She earned a BFA from the University of Florida in 1962, where painter and professor Hiram D. Williams encouraged her to pursue interests in representational work and the essence of objects despite the dominance of abstract expressionism at the time. [22] [24] She continued with graduate work at Indiana University (MFA, 1965), studying with painter James McGarrell. [22] [24] After graduating, Larsen taught studio art and art history at the University of Oklahoma, before moving to Tampa and taking a position at the University of South Florida in 1967; she taught painting and drawing there until retiring, professor emeritus, in 2003. [25] [7] [26]

Larsen lived intermittently in Tampa and New York for almost a decade before settling in Tampa in 1981. [25] [13] In the 1970s, she painted images of composite, figurative scenes—often observations of city life based on fragments of photographs—that sought to sought to deconstruct traditional realist concepts of homogeneous, unified vision. [27] [24] Her figurative work subsequently shifted in a geometric direction, before entering a period (roughly 1984 to 1999) in which she produced process-oriented, abstract paintings that were influenced by Japanese art, Roland Barthes and structuralism; these paintings revealed the implications and limits of modern formalism by engaging non-formalist literary borrowings, representational plays, and concrete referentiality. [27] [22] [28] [29] Described as cool, distanced and highly textured, they were characterized by simple shapes, limited palettes, and an emphasis on the physical surface, which Larsen scraped, buried, collaged, built up and peeled to produce an effect resembling old weathered walls. [28] [22] [8] She frequently deconstructed modernist abstract and non-western paintings as compositional springboards for the largely abstract works, whose shapes, linear elements and titles (Escalator, 1988; Archer, 1996; Weight Lifter, 1999) alluded to figuration and spatial relationships. [27] [28] [6]

Larsen began exhibiting regularly in the late 1970s and over roughly two decades appeared in solo shows in Florida galleries, various American university venues, and a retrospective at the DeLand Museum of Art (1992), as well as group shows at the Contemporary Arts Center (New Orleans), American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Tampa Museum of Art, among others.

In 1999, Larsen adopted an approach that reversed the direction of early modernists by translating abstract paintings into precise, more clearly representational and recognizable—if highly constructed—narrative and figurative works. [30] [29] The new paintings combined cool, creamy color schemes and a unique method that seamlessly integrated acrylic paint, cut-and-painted tracing paper and manipulated textures. [30] [29] [31] They depicted a parallel semiotic universe [32] of horizon-less, tilting panoramas and situations frozen in time and populated by characters that married abstract planes of color to well-observed figuration and detail (e.g., The Writer, 2001). [30] [29] [31] Reviews would describe the work as surreal, disorienting and metaphorically complex in its juxtapositions of non-sequitur humor and foreboding, upended perception and de-familiarized everyday life. [31] [23] [32] [33] In 2005, Larsen exhibited this work at the New York Studio School, a show that New York Observer critic Mario Naves wrote, displayed "a deep-seated originality" in its mix of absurdism, surprising quietude and diverse influences. [30]

Following that exhibition and another at Regina Rex in Queens (2011), [7] Larsen gained widespread recognition with her Manhattan gallery debut, "Three Chapters", a three-part show at Johannes Vogt Gallery in 2012. [1] [34] [22] By that time, she had introduced more disruptive compositions that rejected a singular viewpoint and employed reverse perspective—a system common to Roman and Byzantine icon painting and the spatial conundrums of artists Al Held and M. C. Escher, in which elements enlarge (rather than shrink) as they recede from the picture plane. [7] [9] [32] John Yau described these paintings as adhering to a singular logic governed by Larsen's "imaginative synthesis and restating of radically different artists and traditions [that] do not jibe with traditional spatial relationships but fit together like overpasses, cloverleaves, service roads, and on-ramps." [34] [5] [35]

The painted scenarios in that show—and a subsequent one at Various Small Fires (2015)—ranged from banal (exercising, domestic life, meetings, café and mall trips) to quixotic (religious happenings, war rooms) to cryptic (a stork hovering over a woman in mall holding a baby aloft in Mall Event, 2010; the vaguely ominous Chainsawer and Bicyclist, 2014). [9] [32] [1] [8] Typical were several paintings of faculty and organizational meetings, such as Explanation and Committee (both 2007) or Tanks (2006), with figures depicted in slumped postures and distorted perspectives and scales that seemed to allude to endemic, underlying psychological or social aspects, such as recurrent and petty power struggles, conformity, boredom and absurdity. [34] [1] [31] Reviewers suggested that a key to the work was Larsen's apparent ability to imbue the protagonists and situations with warmth, distilled emotion and specificity—despite the high degree of stylization—through a constellation of selectively attended to, telling details, an eye for the textured surfaces and the effects of light upon them, and the expressive possibilities of spatial arrangement. [8] [36] [9] [31]

Artcritical identified a new lightness of spirit on Larsen's exhibition "Things People Do" (James Cohan, 2016), most visible in the emergence of her figures from meetings to the outdoors (e.g., Frontier, 2015), a shift from the claustrophobic, "uniquely pressurized sensation" of some of her previous work. [9] [37] Her exhibition "Situation Rooms" (Cohan, 2018) displayed greater complexity in compositions such as Cabinet Meeting (with Coffee), a disorienting, fish-eye depiction of fantastically small to impossibly large figures in gravity-defy postures that seemed "to dramatize anxiety’s perception-skewing effects" according to The New Yorker. [2] John Yau wrote that Larsen was "simultaneously critical, satirical, and tender" towards these figures that seemed frozen in stiff bodies and isolated, noting an eye for dry, matter-of-fact humor and absurdity that revealed "issues of conformity, hierarchy, and power relationships with straight-faced glee" (e.g., Situation Room (Scissors, Rocks, Paper)). [10]

Her 2021 show at James Cohan consisted of paintings whose compositions directly referenced constructivist artist El Lissitzky. [38] [12] New York Times critic Jillian Steinhauer described the show as one in which "the mundane moment becomes unfamiliar and metaphysical, like a view of reality exploded from within," with angular abstract forms and bisecting planes yielding narrative scenes that were funny (a rooster being handed off to a monk), ominous (a man on a beach with a gun), or cosmic (an astronaut floating in front of a planet). [3] [39] [12] It included works such Solar System, Explained (after El Lissitzky)—a radiating array of shapes offering a bird's-eye view of figures lounging in a circular banquette decorated with a Sputnik-era astronomical model—and Intersection (after El Lissitzky) (both 2020), which depicted a man in a wheelchair walking a dog while overlooking a vortex-like, textured, aerial view of a truck and verdant farmland. [4] [12] [3] Mario Naves characterized Larsen's reworking of space as "linear perspective … thrown under the bus and then reconfigured as origami" that "divests El Lissitzky’s art of philosophical heavy-breathing and uses it as an imprimatur for wit, wonder, and representation." [12] [4]

Yun-Fei Ji is a Chinese-American painter who has been based largely in New York City since 1990. His art synthesizes old and new representational modes, subverting the classical idealism of centuries-old Chinese scroll and landscape painting traditions to tell contemporary stories of survival amid ecological and social disruption. He employs metaphor, symbolic allusion and devices such as caricature and the grotesque to create tumultuous, Kafka-esque worlds that writers suggest address two cultural revolutions: the first, communist one and its spiritual repercussions, and a broader capitalist one driven by industrialization and its effects, both in China and the US. ARTnews critic Lilly Wei wrote, "Ancestral ghosts and skeletons appear frequently in Ji’s iconography; his work is infused with the supernatural and the folkloric as well as the documentary as he records with fierce, focused intensity the displacement and forced relocation of people, the disappearance of villages, and the environmental upheavals of massive projects like the controversial Three Gorges Dam."

Cora Cohen was an American artist whose works include paintings, drawings, photographs, and altered x-rays. Cohen is most known for her abstract paintings and is often identified as continuing the tradition of American Abstraction. In a 2023 review in Artforum Barry Schwabsky suggested that "Cohen’s determination to evade stylistic consistency has made her one of the most underrated painters in New York." The New York Times' critic Michael Brenson wrote of her 1984 exhibition, Portraits of Women: "The works are dense, brooding and yet elated. The turbulence of the paint not only looks but also feels like freedom." Cohen interviewed many other artists also associated with continuing the tradition of American Abstraction for Bomb Magazine including; Ralph Humphrey, Dona Nelson, Craig Fisher, Carl Ostendarp, and Joan Mitchell. Her work has also been identified with traditions of European abstraction, and specifically German abstraction, including the work of Wols, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter. She began exhibiting in Germany in the early nineties and continued to show at some of its most prestigious institutions.

Barbara Takenaga is an American artist known for swirling, abstract paintings that have been described as psychedelic and cosmic, as well as scientific, due to their highly detailed, obsessive patterning. She gained wide recognition in the 2000s, as critics such as David Cohen and Kenneth Baker placed her among a leading edge of artists renewing abstraction with paintings that emphasized visual beauty and excess, meticulous technique, and optical effects. Her work suggests possibilities that range from imagined landscapes and aerial maps to astronomical and meteorological phenomena to microscopic views of cells, aquatic creatures or mineral cross-sections. In a 2018 review, The New Yorker described Takenaga as "an abstractionist with a mystic’s interest in how the ecstatic can emerge from the laborious."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lisa Corinne Davis</span> American painter

Lisa Corinne Davis is an American visual artist known for abstract paintings and works on paper that suggest maps and other encoded forms of knowledge. She employs abstraction as a means of rendering the complexities of contemporary experience—including her own as an African-American woman—often questioning preconceived notions about identity, classification, and rationality versus subjectivity. Her densely layered, colorful work merges contrasting schemas, visual elements and formal languages, blurring distinctions between figuration and abstraction, real and fictive spaces and concepts, and microcosmic or macrocosmic reference. Brooklyn Rail critic Joan Waltemath wrote, "The urban experiences of space and time that Davis presents are subtle distillations of moment and coincidence ... Her attempt to map the shattered terrain of contemporary life points both to an awareness of other times and a belief in navigating the present one."

Joanna Pousette-Dart is an American abstract artist, based in New York City. She is best known for her distinctive shaped-canvas paintings, which typically consist of two or three stacked, curved-edge planes whose arrangements—from slightly precarious to nested—convey a sense of momentary balance with the potential to rock, tilt or slip. She overlays the planes with meandering, variable arabesque lines that delineate interior shapes and contours, often echoing the curves of the supports. Her work draws on diverse inspirations, including the landscapes of the American Southwest, Islamic, Mozarabic and Catalan art, Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy, and Mayan art, as well as early and mid-20th-century modernism. Critic John Yau writes that her shaped canvasses explore "the meeting place between abstraction and landscape, quietly expanding on the work of predecessors", through a combination of personal geometry and linear structure that creates "a sense of constant and latent movement."

Louise Belcourt is a Canadian-American artist based in New York, known for elusive, largely abstract paintings that blend modernist formal play, a commitment to the physical world, and a visual language that shifts between landscape and the body, architecture and geometric form. New York Times critic Ken Johnson writes of her earlier work, "balancing adroitly between Color Field abstraction and Pop-style representation, Ms. Belcourt's paintings invite meditation on the perceptual, the conceptual and how our minds construct the world." Describing her later evolution, David Brody writes in Artcritical, "Hard-nosed Canadian empiricism and Brooklyn grit seem to combine in Belcourt’s work to undermine stylistic stasis."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Harriet Korman</span> American painter

Harriet Korman is an American abstract painter based in New York City, who first gained attention in the early 1970s. She is known for work that embraces improvisation and experimentation within a framework of self-imposed limitations that include simplicity of means, purity of color, and a strict rejection of allusion, illusion, naturalistic light and space, or other translations of reality. Writer John Yau describes Korman as "a pure abstract artist, one who doesn’t rely on a visual hook, cultural association, or anything that smacks of essentialization or the spiritual," a position he suggests few post-Warhol painters have taken. While Korman's work may suggest early twentieth-century abstraction, critics such as Roberta Smith locate its roots among a cohort of early-1970s women artists who sought to reinvent painting using strategies from Process Art, then most associated with sculpture, installation art and performance. Since the 1990s, critics and curators have championed this early work as unjustifiably neglected by a male-dominated 1970s art market and deserving of rediscovery.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Amanda Church</span> American visual artist

Amanda Church is an American artist known for abstract paintings that reference the human figure and other discernible elements. Her works straddle representational and formalist art traditions, suggesting recognizable body parts, objects, and perspectival elements in an otherwise abstract field. Church's distinctive use of contrasting style elements has been consistently noted by critics such as Hyperallergic's Cora Fisher, who described Church's work as "whimsically overruling the left-right brain dichotomy as well as the traditionally gendered axis that divides geometric and decorative art." Church received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2015 and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in 2017, among other awards. Her work has been covered in publications such as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, ARTnews, Hyperallergic and Forbes Magazine. Her paintings have been exhibited in major U.S. cities as well as internationally, in galleries and museums such as the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Aldrich Museum. She lives and works in New York.
