LOUISE NEVELSON "NIGHTSCAPE" CAST PAPER RELIEF, 1975
Caviar20 is thrilled to present the work of Louise Nevelson. This is the first time we have had one of her impressive molded paper pulp reliefs in black. It is a haunting example of her work.
Although Nevelson is best known as a sculptor, Nevelson expanded her practice by exploring different branches of printmaking, like many of her contemporaries. As a printmaker Nevelson was particularly curious, consistently experimenting with different techniques and materials.
"Nightscape" is a paradigm of Nevelson's visual language and printmaking practice. She utilized the technique of cast paper, whereby paper fibre or pulp is formed into a mold, creating a relief. The striking shapes and features of the work have Nevelson's signature arrangements, forms and texture.
"Nightscape" alludes to African art, hieroglyphs, cubism and utopian or post-apocalyptic architecture. Completed in her signature monochromatic black, the raised height and/or depth of the shapes accentuates their mysterious and meticulous composition from the dark background.
