Olivia Springberg

Storage is pleased to present Gates of Horn, a solo exhibition of Brooklyn-based artist Olivia Springberg (b. 2000).

Springberg presents ten paintings that exemplify her ability to transform line and color into spiritual realms. Drawing from Jewish tradition, dream theory, and interests in archaeology and the occult, Springberg follows a tradition of artists exploring and reinventing the archetypes of folklore and the unconscious.

Her careful understanding of and interest in geometry begins with the composition’s shape; while some of her canvases are rectangular, others are stretched onto non-traditional frames. Fodor’s Menorah takes the form of the eponymous religious icon. Geoglyphs, ancient script, and relief sculpture all inform the artist’s desire to craft powerful silhouettes all inform the artist’s desire to craft powerful silhouettes.
