Aurel Schmidt
"Buddha"
30.5 x 27.5 inches
Signed edition of 50
$350
Aurel Schmidt's reclining Buddha print comes from her body of work titled "New Gods" shown earlier this year in pop-up exhibitions in Venice and New York City. Schmidt will present a continuation of this series in a solo show at Half Gallery this November. Self-taught, she works almost exclusively in colored pencil and acrylic on paper, with the occasional splash of beer, blood, or dirt. Her detailed, surrealist drawings engage the spiritual and the visceral. As she puts it, "things like neo-colonialism, cultural and spiritual capitalism and alienation."
