Erling Sjovold: Eyelets
10 Jun, 2021 - 12 Jul, 2021
Erling Sjovold鈥檚 new series, EYELETS, exists as a visual diary of walking and wandering, as these works are rendered elements of Sjovold鈥檚 necessitated bipedal journeys over this recent pandemic. As a pun on the word islet, and in connection with his many walks to Belle Isle in Richmond, VA, Sjovold expresses how isles appear in unexpected ways throughout the city: via planet and climate, private and public boundaries, homes, rooms, windows, personal space, and even within the self. He expresses how these physical boundaries often translate to internal isolation phenomena of memory, desire, and imagination. In this way, his paintings exist as meditations on these themes. Sjovold sees these little windows into his walks as informal conversations, which can exist as private and speculative exchanges between environment and artist, and ultimately from work to viewer.
