ESCAPING, by Emma Larsson and Steen Ipsen
Simard Bilodeau Contemporary is excited to present the exhibition ESCAPING, opening December 2nd until the 18th, at their Downtown Los Angeles location.
Both artists LARSSON and IPSEN create artworks that illustrate organic shapes and forms. Between the two, a dialogue rooted from nature’s elements is conducted. In Larsson’s artworks, there are organic floral and faunal abstract expressions. As for Ipsen’s, the use of spheres and cords intertwined, represented in different sizes and connected to one another, can recall geometric systems, organic growth and crystallization.
A sense of freedom and joy resonate between the two Northern Europeans’ artworks. They offer a pure illustration of nature’s universality. Exploring the collection of watercolor paintings and glazed ceramic sculptures suggests a dreamlike experience. Without formalism or convention, ESCAPING is the contemplation of nature’s themes and patterns in an abstract and geometrical artistic language.
This exhibition is an invitation to be immersed into a world of primitive colors, shapes and forms with the purpose of offering a moment of liberty and pleasure for the mind and the spirit; an escape, a moment to dream and to let go.
