Artist Statement
Valerie Veator is a Los Angeles–based artist working in painting,
film, and installation. Her most recent work explores a space of
intersubjectivity, specifically citing abstract painting, narrative
filmmaking, and performative practices as they vacillate between
traditional and contemporary forms. Screenic culture and issues
in seeing/being seen are central to her practice. Her latest
exhibition, We Three (My echo, my shadow and me), examines the
culture of seeing as mediated through screens and its impact on
contemporary art practices. The result, a tripartite work,
exercises forms of tracing, embedding, concealing, and revealing
across watercolor, film/video, and digital painting as a way
to problematize viewing spaces and to encourage analytical
perspectives toward that which is not always visible.
