For Frieze Masters 2024, James Cohan is pleased to participate in Studio curated by Sheena Wagstaff, a special section of immersive presentations that highlight the artist’s place of making. We will present work by Mernet Larsen spanning over 50 years of artmaking, alongside ephemera, studies, and archival materials to invite the viewer into Larsen’s creative atmosphere.
Mernet Larsen has developed a distinctive dialogue with art history drawing from traditional 13th-century narrative Japanese scrolls, the 18th-century Royal paintings of Udaipur, India, French Impressionism, and the non-objective paintings of the Russian Constructivist El Lissitzky. Larsen harnesses their unlikely geometries to depict our everyday reality, populating her vertiginous and uncanny world with characters that reflect contemporary angst and humor in equal measure.
