About The Artist
Navin June Norling’s work is influenced by both urban and rural sensibilities. Juxtaposing classic Americana imagery with urban found materials, Norling works off the premise that abandoned objects, whether they are from a farm or a city street, can always be put to an alternative use. Likewise, Norling reuses the symbols, graffiti, and even the walls of a city in his art to communicate what he calls a “collective history” of “power, class, geography, capitalism, and inequality.”
