Artist: Navin June Norling | Location: Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, GA
Navin Norling (b. 1970) examines classic Americana imagery and assembles miscellanea out of popular culture signifiers, sayings, folklore, and materialism.
Norling grew up California and spent his youth as part of a generation committed to establishing a personal aesthetic framework, whether in the use of graffiti monikers or wheat paste messaging.
The use of found objects and urban detritus plays a large part in his continued investigation of a dynamic American cultural landscape.
In 1995, he received a BFA from the California College of the Arts. It was here that he first encountered Raymond Saunders. He later moved to New York in the early 1990s and received an MFA from Hunter College in 2002.
His body of work encompasses paintings, sculptural objects, and installations; melanges of cacophonous iconographies developed from urban graffiti and pop imagery.
Norling lives and works in Atlanta, GA. He is currently a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
