B.1962, AmericanMichelle Grabner is a multidisciplinary artist known for her meticulous, process-oriented approach to abstraction. Active since the early 1990s, she has conducted an enduring investigation into the intricacies of patterns and repetitive formations. While her artistic methodology shares affinities with historical antecedents, particularly those that delve into the complexities and paradoxes of originality, her work surpasses mere replication or tribute, thereby challenging conventional notions of sameness and uniformity.

Her affinity for grid-based compositions stems from a reflective study of behavioral patterns and social conditions, which includes feminist inquiries into the historical lineage of textile arts and the traditions of pattern creation. ...
