SHEER VEIL – FROM THREE POINTS OF VIEW
Artworks by
CECILIE DAHL • EVA FAYE • ANNE KATRINE SENSTAD
Curated by Turid Meeker
February 28 thru March 27, 2005

 

The Trygve Lie Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by the Norwegian artists Cecilie Dahl, Eva Faye, and Anne Katrine Senstad, who all work and live in New York City.

Sheer Veil – from three points of view presents the work by three artists with divergent perspectives and contrasting viewpoints, with an external visual correspondence in the usage of color texture and composition – creating a veil – almost transparent – sheer – looking through, a veil that conceals, reveals, disguises, obscures, exposes and depicts. A veil like an intangible grid, that conveys a distinct individual approach to the treatment of subject matter and content.
 
 

Cecilie Dahl’s interest is relations between people, how we intuitively perceive and negotiate the space between the others and ourselves, and how our experience of proximity is open to illusions. Through the use of various foods Dahl initiates a dialogue between the corporal and the ethereal, between our latent, obscured interiors and the visual physical exteriors where the integration and fusion of color, sound and imagery stimulates an evocative and complex visual language with multi-layered connotations and fields of associations.

Eva Faye observes forms in nature, though nature is not what interests her per se, but rather how it reflects her own life. Looking at the tiniest of details, on a microscopic scale, a whole new universe of organic forms is revealed. In the “White Series”, Faye intentionally reworks used canvases scraping away layers of paint, unveiling what is hidden underneath, then again adding layers until the right balance is struck and the picture reveals itself. The paintings have a quiet sheen, a fine skin, imbued with light and stillness, evoking the physical and the spiritual.
 
 
 
Anne Katrine Senstad dwells in the realm of the senses, more specifically concentrating on the experience of a color or the feeling of a sound. Senstad works in an abstract - minimal language that lends itself to expressing the pureness of light, color, and sound. The light and sound panels which will be featured in this exhibition, refer to a vocabulary reflecting on dynamism and stillness; simultaneously organic and mechanical, creating a tension in the visual expression. Utilizing photography, her process is methodical and intuitive, resulting in sensual and poetic images. For further information see website: www.senstad.com
