Liv Aanrud “Ravel Ravel”
PROJECTOR Gallery
This event has ended.
Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects presents, Ravel Ravel, the first one person exhibition in New York City of textile works by Liv Aanrud, in the project space at 237 Eldridge St.
Liv Aanrud creates all-over textile abstractions informed by the language of painting. She employs the traditional folk method of rag rug hooking, inspired by her discovery of a freely designed abstract rug made by her grandmother in the 1940s. Aanrud’s textiles resemble slowly stitched drawings or labyrinthine murals. Aanrud’s high key palette reflects the city of Los Angeles where strange succulents and smoggy pastel sunsets cast shadows on a graffitied landscape. Her intuitively constructed patterns meditatively build upon one another, weaving personal symbology, words and ruminations into a patterned reverie.
This fall, Liv Aanrud’s work was included in Aanrud was awarded a full scholarship and teaching fellowship at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, where she received her M.F.A in 2011. Aanrud’s work has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at John Davis Gallery, Hudson, NY and Oasis Gallery, Marquette, MI.
