Lesa Shaw, Bare to Pause, oil on canvas, 24x36 in. (with frame, depth is 2 in.).
INSPIRATION
"Bare to Pause" invites a moment of tranquility, urging viewers to disconnect from life's distractions and find solace in nature.
This piece aligns beautifully with the theme, "Revealing Our Magnificence" by celebrating the profound elegance found in simplicity. It reminds us to appreciate the beauty around us and embrace the joy of being present, highlighting the innate strength and calm within every woman.
Through this work, we explore the magnificence that unfolds when we allow ourselves to pause and truly connect with our surroundings.
ARTIST STATEMENT
In my artistic practice, I find that each application of color reveals a new possibility. I begin with a shape, carefully layering colors to observe how they interact and blend. In my oil paintings, this often results in a smooth, harmonious quality, while my acrylic work allows for more texture and visible brushstrokes, showcasing the vibrancy of the medium. My exploration of alcohol inks adds another dimension to my art, offering a level of fluidity that is less controlled, yet beautifully unexpected.
I see art as a journey of experimentation and exploration, much like a scientific study. My curiosity about the psychological aspects of color informs my choices, guiding me toward hues that evoke a sense of tranquility.
Throughout this creative journey, I delve into themes that resonate deeply with me, inviting viewers to engage with my work. I encourage each individual to interpret my art in their own unique way and to find reflections of their own personal experiences within it. Each piece is not just an expression of my vision; it is an invitation for connection and introspection, and I am humbled to share this visual dialogue.
