Mernet Larsen

Mernet Larsen is an American artist born in 1940, recognized for her idiosyncratic narrative paintings. Her work features flat, origami-like figures and blocky volumes set within non-illusionistic, disorienting spaces. Drawing from diverse influences including Constructivist geometry, Japanese puppet theater, and early Renaissance painting, Larsen explores the intersection of abstraction and representation through complex, contradictory perspectives.
