Larassa Kabel is a multidisciplinary artist who engages an array of assumed dualities in our experience, exploring the discomfort, and potential harmonies, they contain within. She plumbs interrelationships between supposed opposing differentiators – including human and animal, land and sky, love and loss – while continuing to search for more. Often recognized for her ongoing series of large-scale, photorealistic drawings of horses in dramatic states of freefall, Larassa maintains a practice that engages a variety of mediums with a consistently rigorous attention. Through drawing, painting, performance, and sculpture she confronts a view of ourselves as “outside of Nature” and explores the desire to distance ourselves from our mortality.
Larassa has exhibited across the country, and her work is represented in many institutional, private, and corporate collections – including the Des Moines Art Center, Figge Museum of Art, Sioux City Art Center, Aviva Corporate Collection, the World Food Prize, and the White House. She has received numerous grants and awards, including the Iowa Arts Council Fellowship, and has been a nominee for a United States Artists and twice for the Joan Mitchell Foundation fellowships. Larassa was born in Des Moines, IA and received her BFA with honors from Iowa State University. |
