About the Item
'The Algorithm Hates Me', 2023
Acrylic paint, dirt and wool over stretched canvas
39.3 x 27.5 inches
Meike Legler’s works are a bold post-feminist reframing of sewn objects, recontextualized far beyond “women’s work.” In 1918 Le Corbusier said, “There is a hierarchy in the arts: decorative art at the bottom and human form at the top. Because we are men”¹ Legler craftily subverts this notion by stitching together ideas and methodologies and powerfully placing herself within the spectrum of contemporary abstract painting.
Originally trained as a clothing designer at Berlin’s Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft and Central St. Martins in London, Meike Legler uses fabrics and nimble sewing machine skills to create abstract paintings, stretched like canvas over wooden stretcher bars. When she moved to Los Angeles in 2016 her paintings became more complex, with wilder ideas and influences, and she started integrating materials like automotive tarps and faux fur into her elaborate constructions.
Born in Alzenau, Germany, Meike Legler was familiar with European modernist works, and multidisciplinary artists like Sonia Delaunay and Anni Albers were inspirational in her early works. Each of Legler’s unique configurations of color, line, and texture engage her interests in the esoteric and paranormal. Expanding her explorations of media and form, her works also possess spiritual elements reminiscent of Hilma af Klint (the Swedish painter whose mystical works were largely ignored within the canon of abstract painting until recently) or the Transcendentalist artists from the early 20th century.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Meike Legler (b. 1983 in Alzenau, Germany) is a contemporary textile artist currently based in Vienna, Austria. She is best known for sewing together fabrics that she treated with paint, dye, and bleach and fabrics featuring diverse textures into colorful compositions stretched like canvas over wooden stretcher bars.
Her artistic practice is inspired by astrophysics, a spiritual perspective on the mysteries of the universe and the afterlife as well as by the possibilities that the materials she uses, offer.
Legler has exhibited at galleries and institutions in the Los Angeles area and internationally, including Ladies’ Room in Los Angeles, the United States of America; Annika Nuttal Gallery in Aarhus, Denmark; Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, the United States of America; Artmovement in Los Angeles, the United States of America; and Show Gallery in Hollywood, the United States of America. Her works are collected by various private national and international collections.
She currently lives and works in Vienna, AT.
