How often: Once Only
Jean Lyon's new oil on canvas works juxtapose disparate objects representing the elements of earth, fire, water, air and space to create dreamlike scenes. In this monochromatic series, the grey wash background, reminiscent of Zen Buddhist brush and ink landscapes, provides an amorphous ground that triggers ideas for the painted imagery. Figurative elements such as trees, rock formations, birds and people inspired by close observation of found materials and the artist's archive of personal photographs, newspapers and magazines evoke a sense of nostalgia.
In these low key compositions, constructed via Golden Mean theory and Fibonacci number sequences, thin washes of black and white oil paint are used to paint the contrasting detailed objects.
