LAURA LETINSKY – YOURS, MORE PRETTY

Posted on 2014-10-06

The exhibition includes the most recent works from Letinsky’s on-going series, Ill Form & Void Full, which reflects on temporality and desire in the still-life genre, the self-referentiality of the photographic medium and the mutability of perception. Letinsky’s compositions utilize fragments from her own photographs and those of other artists like Richter or Matisse, as well as advertisements culled from magazines, dissolving the hierarchy between high and low imagery, and the notion of what is real and what is mediated. In addition, by using white as a color, the edges of paper as lines, and shadows as planes, Letinsky’s compositions conflate flatness and dimensionality, upending the viewer’s sense of space and perspective.

The arrangements in Yours, More Pretty employ two-dimensional elements as sculptural objects, to dizzying effect. Collaged cutouts of food, feathers, tableware or abstracted swaths of color are pinned, taped or glued onto reproductions of table surfaces or white paper, all of which are placed on the studio wall and actual tabletops, creating a multiplicity of facades that collapse perspective and float in an indecipherable space of light and shadow. As Letinsky describes, “Not only objects, but our relation to others, to our selves, is constantly shifting… I do strive to clear away all that is not necessary, to make the picture space a kind of precipice, anticipation always active.”

Opposite – Untitled #40, 2013

Exhibition runs through to October 18th, 2014
