Mimi Lauter: Cultivating the Landscape (2025)

Barbati Gallery

10 May – 6 September 2025

At the Barbati Gallery in Venice, the exhibition 'Cultivating the Landscape' features 27 works by Mimi Lauter created between 2024 and 2025.

Mimi Lauter’s emotionally charged and vividly colored universe is made up predominantly of oil and soft pastels on paper. Her works consist of expansive fields of saturated color, which she heavily layers and etches into, creating swirling textures that assemble abstracted narratives. Lauter builds her imagery through diverse sources of mythology, literature, the social and political atmosphere, and her personal memory and dreams, all as a means to express the relationship between image and existence. Her paintings reveal diverse 19th and early 20th-century influences ranging from Odilon Redon, Pierre Bonnard, Jean-Édouard Vuillard, Hilma af Klint, Leonora Carrington, and the rich colors of Mexican folkloric imagery.
