Two or Three of Something - Maria Lassnig, Liz Larner
This work includes essays by Peter Pakesch, Adam Budak, Luce Irigiray, Penny Florence, Russell Ferguson, and John Rajchman. This exhibition investigates painterly and sculptural vocabularies as elaborated in the work of two distinguished women artists, Austrian, Maria Lassnig (born in 1919) and Californian, Liz Larner (born in 1960). The entire oeuvre of these artists is a profound analysis of the human psyche, executed with a particular sensibility towards the formal language. In her monumental sculptures and installations, Liz Larner depicts "the world not just as given" but "as a construction" whereas Maria Lassnig in her introspective paintings takes on an investigation into the truth of human emotions and bodily sensations.
