Artist Statement for Liv Tchividjian Grimsby
|
|
|
Liv is a Norwegian born artist who expresses through her works a basic philosophy that has come about both as a result of natural temperament and sensibility as well as by an intellectual choice and philosophical awareness.
Her art displays an immersion of varied styles, from the sedation, uprightness, artificial radiance and colorfulness in the imagery to an abyss of eventfulness and the whirlpool of conflicting emotions, from the hum of mechanical movements to the hectic and chaotic.
She has chosen to dwell in or around New York and draws inspiration directly and indirectly from this very intense and dramatic place in which there is no escape. Having become familiar with the manner in which the cityscape conveys elements of the ruthless and the violent, similarly does the human landscape possess this quality.
Those that enter the City are destroyed, not by despair, but by blind excitement. The madness and drivenness of the environment is made evident through the use of the body as object and tool for dialogue with the two, leaving the sense of abandonment and freedom at the forefront of the risks involved. These linked forces match and even amplify the dramatic elements of the Nordic soul. The encounter with the enormous, the fantastical and the myths, also found in her own culture, is her continuous love affair with life forces that provoke and demand a response.
