Cut-Up Canvas I.9 (Abstract Painting)

2017

About the Item

Cut-Up Canvas I.9 (Abstract Painting) Acrylic on canvas. Unframed. Pedersen works with acrylic paint. When painting a composition, she tends toward a limited color palette, often reducing the composition to minimal, hard-edged shapes on solid-colored fields. The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different relationships: those between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes. Ulla Pedersen is a Danish abstract artist. Her work is a minimal and concrete exploration of color, materiality, form and balance. She lives and works in the Capital Region of Denmark. Pedersen works with acrylic paint on many different surfaces, including canvas, wood, paper, cardboard and plastic. Her process is reductive. When painting a composition, she tends toward a limited color palette, often reducing the composition to minimal, hard-edged shapes on solid-colored fields. When making her assembled pieces, she cuts shapes away then re-combines them into new configurations, using both the positive elements (the shape she has cut out) and the negative elements (the part that was left behind). She uses everything, juxtaposing notions of “form and non-form,” and always leaving room for discovery and surprise. Pedersen is inspired by the potential she sees in formal aesthetic elements. She is particularly fascinated with the circle. Her work can be seen as an investigation into the way relationships emerge and evolve when elements like color, form, shape, angle and pattern are blended, shifted and layered. The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different relationships: those between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes. She is also interested in artistic materials. As she experiments with different surfaces, mediums and techniques, the artistic process itself becomes the basis of her discovery. Pedersen has exhibited throughout Denmark primarily in curated Group exhibitions and solo exhibitions in companies in the capital area. Her work is included in the collections of the Danish Foreign Ministry Art Association, the Danish Ministry of Integration Art Association, the Copenhagen City Art Foundation, and the Municipal Art Collection of the City of Aarhus.

(framed) Please note: Our framing studio could not accommodate the scale of this work, so it is being sold as-acquired.

As a teenager, he was encouraged to pursue a career as an artist, subsequently creating his first real paintings around the age of 14.

After stints at the Art Students League, the Kansas City Art Institute, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the University of California at Berkeley, Landfield’s professional career as a painter began in New York in 1965. The following year, after completing a major series of hard-edge border paintings, success as a painter began to materialize. The famous architect and collector Philip Johnson and the collector Robert Scull each acquired large paintings works, as did the Sheldon Memorial Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1967, Landfield was invited to participate in the Whitney Annual at the end of the year. His work attracted considerable attention, and he was invited to participate in important group exhibitions at the Bykert, Bianchini, and Park Place Galleries in New York. Landfield joined the David Whitney...
