Wallpaper Artist: Talia Greene

Our discussion in class today about finding artists who incorporate the idea of wallpaper patterns into their work immediately made me think of a current contemporary artist named Talia Greene. I first was introduced to her work when I was assigned a research paper assignment in my Contemporary Art class last winter session, in which we were to visit the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts in Wilmington, DE and chose an exhibition to develop a thesis about. I was very interested in Talia Greene's exhibit the minute I stepped into the room and only continued to be as I researched her work and the concepts that drive it as well as her influences. She is a great example of an artist who incorporates wallpapers and patterns into her work and her exploration of order vs chaos through nature. Here is an example:

Two signs in the installation, Entropy Filigree, at American University. Left sign: Stairway Exit. Right sign: Electics. Each 12" x 9.5", Framed Wallpaper and Silhouette Paper.
