GLASSHOUSE presents Trash Dolls, a solo exhibition of recent drawings by New York based artist Aurel Schmidt (b.1982, Canada), opening Friday 14 July 7-9pm
About
The works that make up Trash Dolls are the latest in an ongoing series of the same name: since 2019, Schmidt has been transforming the detritus of her environment into characters that embody the psychosomatic effects of a fast-paced life in the big city. The 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘋𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘴 are formed out of an urban vernacular, the rot and refuse found lining the gutters of New York's streets or littering an apartment in the aftermath of a late night. Using exquisite draughtsmanship, Schmidt catalogues and reconstitutes the sediment of downtown parties and alley way trash heaps, at once satirising and playfully celebrating hedonistic city living.
