We ❤️ Mernet Larsen!

"Departure (after El Lissitzky)," 2019, is reproduced from Mernet Larsen, a staff favorite new release this week from Kerber. Susan Thompson writes, “To step into Mernet Larsen’s world is to step off a ledge. A self-avowed enemy of horizons, Larsen revels in disorientation. Toying with perspective and favoring inversion, her paintings reward the embrace of vertigo. Larsen’s organization of space momentarily scrambles the brain, drawing viewers’ attention to their own faculties of perception. Where is up and where is down, what is near and what is far, what am I seeing, and—perhaps most unnervingly—where am I?”
