Larysa Myers
Larysa Myers studied classical art and textile design in New York City, developing a love for classical drawing and pattern designing. After leaving the city and moving upstate to Beacon, New York, she started a family while surrounded by nature and began a new body of work focused on drawing. Her drawings are records of personal history woven into the universal and cyclical, mythological and contemporary. Settings are wild, mundane and fantastical, each opening into different parts of the psyche and the identity. The forms investigate female archetypes as bodies are silhouetted and manipulated. Since becoming a mother of three, much of the work reflects upon the ideals of motherhood and its dualities of self-fulfillment and self-denial. Repetitive patterns and lines in mark making lead to a slow, reflective state. Recent group exhibitions include Paintings of Common Objects at Fortnight Institute (2023), Charta on the Fortnight Institute Salon (2022), I Walk Through Walls on Mepaintsme (2022), Night Scenes at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York, NY (2021), Soft Temple at Mother Gallery, Beacon, NY (2019) and upcoming three-person show at Wilder Gallery, London in Fall 2023. Her work has been featured in Maake Magazine and ArtMaze Mag.
