1st artist contribution to Foundwork @foundwork.art @adam.yokell Meredith Stoudenmire (Greenville, SC) is one of the latest artists featured in our guest curators program on Foundwork. Stoudenmire was chosen by Kalup Linzy (Kalup Linzy Studio), an acclaimed American video and performance artist and currently a 2019 Tulsa Artist Fellow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ About Stoudenmire’s practice, Linzy remarks that her “works are powerful because they create a feeling of innocence and a sense of danger. Euphoric feelings experienced in childhood are paired with environments that appear to be on the verge of a nightmare. Maintaining their innocence and oblivious to the dangers surrounding them, the children in these works move through the forecasted perils unaffected. With no conclusions in sight, the viewer may find themselves fearing for her subjects and hoping they find their way to safety before what feels like the inevitable happens." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meredith Stoudenmire was born in 1975 in Greenville, SC, where she is currently based. Stoudenmire received her BFA in 1999 from Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, GA. We invite you to visit her profile on Foundwork to learn more about the artist and see more of her ominously engaging and formally inventive paintings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Artwork Images (in order of display): ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The cracks are hot lava 5” (2018).
