Klara Kristalova: Big Girl Now
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present an exhibition of new ceramic sculptures by Czechoslovakian-born and Sweden-based artist Klara Kristalova, on view February 27 - April 26, 2014 at the gallery's 201 Chrystie Street location. In her second exhibition with the gallery, Kristalova continues her work in ceramics to visualize psychological states of being and explore the complexity of the human condition. The artist will be present for the opening reception on Thursday, February 27 from 6 to 8 PM.
With each sculpture, Kristalova builds an imaginative narrative around common emotions and everyday situations, turning to a diversity of influences that include music, memory and current events, literature, myths and fairytales. Her slightly unsettling hand-painted figures鈥攐ften hybrids of human, animal, insect or plant forms鈥攃ommunicate a tension but also a balance between states of being or transformation. Wavering between the innocent and disturbing, dreamlike and nightmarish, masculine and feminine, Kristalova's sculptures evoke the dualities and multiple dimensions that exist within human nature.
