Laura Murlender at Rebecca Gallery

Thursday, 08 March 2007 18:51

Toronto - Over the last 20 years Laura Murlender has devoted her artistic exploration to the investigation and development of a unique emotional and  structural tension. The Edging series contains a collection of 8 works on canvas.

Vacant plans, oil paint, monochrome color fields and industrial colors,capture the sense of anonymity and displacement one can feel in the urban environment. Murlender has lived, studied and created in numerous cities in the world including Buenos Aires, Jerusalem,Paris, Mexico City and New York.

The multicultural experience and the characteristics of the urban environment have become central to her practice. Over the years she has used specific architectural and formal representations in her work to the extent that they have become part of her own personal artistic vocabulary. It is not any one specific city that is portrayed, but rather an abstract representation of urban utopia. On exhibition until 31 March,2007.

Catalog, Essay and images by Anat Litwin, New York based Artist and curator.

Centrally located in the heart of Toronto's fashionable 'Little Italy' the Rebecca Gallery represent a stable of both emerging and established Canadian Artists who create in the mediums of textiles, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. Visit:  www.rebeccagallery.com/
