Frank and sympathetic, at times voyeuristic, the works of Elizabeth Ravn portray the lives of strangers and loved ones, plants, animals, interior dwellings and urban topographies. For the exhibition Ledgers & Dwellers, the artist focuses on the continuously morphing terrain of Berlin and its inhabitants. Exuding movement and vigor, Ravn’s compositions appear to be in a state of constant mutability – temporal scenes marked by seasons, time of day and familiar architecture. Like Edward Hopper’s ambiguously evocative quotidian landscapes, these paintings invite the projection of our own subjective narratives by virtue of their relatable un-remarkableness. Yet they are sometimes tricks on depth and perspective, requiring a closer look in order to comprehend the reality of the situations at hand.
