Lisa LightmanBefore the Beginning: figurative, oil, graphite on canvas over board, 20082008
2008
About the Item
Before the Beginning is a figurative work and has a highly textured surface. It is canvas over board. The sides are unframed and are covered by linen tape. The black area around the central photograph is not part of the painting. The supporting photographs convey the texture and complexity of marks and colors - a result of a continuous application and removal process. The half-girl image is emerging into the space while the male figure is fully present. I am happy to provide additional images and/or a video.
Lisa Lightman Fine Art
I started to make art in my mid-thirties. I took a few adult education classes. One class changed everything. Draw whatever you want, however you want. I leaned toward abstraction. It was liberating to make art that was generated by the myriad of emotions that floated on the surface of my life at that time.
How I make art has evolved slowly. The willingness to see colors and shapes in a landscape or on a kitchen counter, or feel a mood or emotion, all rendered through paints, pencils and other materials, are only a few of the infinite filters that land on the surface. I understand that each mark or color choice, or the final painting, is recognized as a moment in time not to be matched by any other moment in time.

- When It Lies Down on a Cloud: abstract collage on paper, landscapeLocated in Petaluma, CAI've been inspired by flowers, nature and botanical themes for the past year. I like stretching the imagery to include primitivism, collage and a feeling of immediacy. The immediacy is not unlike our current need and insistence to confront climate change. The painting on paper has a line of collaged, colored papers applied horizontally, almost like a grid of urgency. That is juxtaposed by faint lines that convey roots. This is framed in white.
