About the Artist

There is a geometric orderliness and a powerful symbolism conveyed by Norwegian based in Sherman Oaks artist Mirjam Clement’s Abstract Expressionist paintings. Working with saturated colors mixed with pastels to create extreme combinations with which to render complex detail, Clement fills her canvases with opaque layers of paint that meet to form sharp lines and shapes. Often her pieces contain symmetrical shapes and computer-like “pixels.” What results are origami-like compositions, with distinct lines and spaces between background and foreground that come together to achieve a calming yet dynamic effect.

Much of Clement’s work, particularly her distinct use of color, has been inspired by the time she spent growing up and living in beautiful Norway. As she explains, “I’ve found that the simplicity of life in Norway, combined with its nature, have made me fall in love with all colors at once, and keeping them clean and precise next to one another is what it is about for me.” Indeed, through her work, Clement is able to create her own mode of expression and an appealing, idiosyncratic art form.

About the Exhibition

The variety that exists in the exhibition, Reconstructing Reality, creates a sense of exploration that cannot be denied. The viewer is able to go from the ephemeral to the figurative in just a few moments, only to be snapped back to an equally jarring duality between works of traditional embroidery and surreal landscapes. The contrast, though strong, is far from harsh, with each piece made entirely accessible by the expertise each artist puts into their own styles and works, allowing for the viewer to fully enjoy the full range of art on display.
