Elisa Lendvay is a multidisciplinary artist living in NY. Her work spans media from object making in sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, photography, writing, music and collaborative performance. In interplays of exploratory process, she employs line, color, shape and form with diverse materials to merge into enigmatic objects bound by physicality. Exploring ideas of internal vision, observation of nature and corporeality, the works are illuminated by moments of play and discovery.
She received an MFA from The Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College, and a BFA from The University of Texas at Austin, and Bennington College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally including NYC spaces: Sargent’s Daughters Gallery; The Drawing Center; Underdonk; Klaus Von Nichtaggend Gallery; Jason McCoy Gallery; and PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance, Chatham, NY, Ratio 3 Gallery, San Francisco, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, NY, the Albany International Airport, and the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery at the University of Dallas, and Form+Concept, Santa Fe.
Her work has been included in Art Forum (Critic’s picks), The NY Times Style Mag, Time Out NY, Two Coats of Paint, Maake Magazine, and the Huffington Post. She is the recipient of awards and residencies including Edward Albee Fellowship, Santa Fe Art Institute, Vermont Studio Center, The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Swing Space Residency, New York Foundation of the Arts Artist Fellowship, Sculpture Finalist, The Dallas Museum of Art’s Arch and Anne Giles Kimbrough Award and the Dallas Museum of Art’s DeGolyer Award.
