We ❤️ Mernet Larsen! Here are just a few paintings from the new monograph from @kerberverlag -- read more via linkinbio!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @susanthompson1 writes, “To step into Mernet Larsen’s world is to step off a ledge. A self-avowed enemy of horizons, Larsen revels in disorientation. Toying with perspective and favoring inversion, her paintings reward the embrace of vertigo. Larsen’s organization of space momentarily scrambles the brain, drawing viewers’ attention to their own faculties of perception. Where is up and where is down, what is near and what is far, what am I seeing, and—perhaps most unnervingly—where am I?”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #mernetlarsen https://www.instagram.com/p/CSU33btJGCf/?utm_medium=tumblr

The scenes depicted in Mernet Larsen’s paintings appear familiar, at times even mundane: doing yard work; sitting in a staff meeting; waiting on a subway platform. Yet running through these representations of daily modern life is a distorted sense of reality that suddenly leaves one struggling to find footing within these worlds.
