This event has ended.

For the past decade, Lendvay has pushed the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Not necessarily distinguishing between the two genres, her works explore how line can be drawn in space and how forms become flattened on a two-dimensional surface. Her sculptures manifest as painterly objects, while her paintings can be defined as three-dimensional constructs. Both employ diverse materials to ponder how unlike ingredients can merge into something other and new. The results are textural works that often incorporate found objects, many of which Lendvay harvests from the urban landscape. In the studio, she modifies these, obscuring their original materiality and functionality through acts of painting and sculpting. Her practice, which is largely based on the interplay of adding, altering and subtracting various components, is always aiming at transformation. It is Lendvay’s ambition to visualize thoughts; she seeks forms that will encourage alternate ways of seeing and are able to direct our perception in- and outward.
