Art by Medium: Charcoal

Shawarma, a delicious culinary delight enjoyed by many, takes center stage in this artwork. The artist playfully emphasizes the word "Shawarma" on the tote bag, highlighting its significance as a symbol of enjoyment and pleasure. This whimsical representation serves as a reminder to relish the simple, gastronomic experiences that can bring moments of happiness and contentment to our lives. "You can't buy happiness, but buy shawarma." These words resonate deeply, encapsulating the idea that true happiness cannot be purchased, but it can be found in the small, fleeting moments of joy. The artwork encourages us to seek happiness in the every day and appreciate the simple pleasures that add flavor to our lives. By celebrating the act of indulging in a beloved food like shawarma, the artist reminds us to embrace the little things that bring us happiness. "Sometimes a sad day is a good day to enjoy life." This thought-provoking statement challenges our perspective on difficult times, suggesting that even in moments of sadness, we can find solace in the small joys that surround us. The artwork portrays a young woman, perhaps caught in a moment of contemplation, choosing to uplift her spirits through the simple act of enjoying shawarma. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, we can find solace and pleasure in life's little pleasures. "Life is too short to not Shawarma" serves as a gentle reminder to live fully in the present. It urges us to savor the flavors, experiences, and connections that make life beautiful. In a world that often rushes by, this artwork encourages us to slow down and appreciate the present moment, relishing the delicious tastes and sensations that bring us joy. Food has an incredible ability to bring people together, transcending cultural boundaries and creating moments of shared happiness. The artwork's focus on shawarma as a source of enjoyment underscores the significance of culinary delights in our lives. It invites us to celebrate the diverse flavors and experiences that the world of food offers, fostering connections and creating memories. "Life is too short to not Shawarma" is not just a whimsical artwork...

Artist's Statement: "I typically paint abstractly, but this is part of a recent series of paintings that is figurative and symbolic. They harken back to 80s neo-Expressionism - my favorite contemporary art movement. I tend not to beat collectors over the head with fatuous "meanings" of my work, but this one does have a subtext, a rather personal one. But you are welcome to read whatever you want into it." Comes framed in a professional high-profile float frame. “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work.

(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple or black floater frame, ready to hang.) Artist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to my 'Gridish' series but with more negative space, a broader array of media and more complexity to the oval forms. I have tried to create tension between these iconic forms through the divergence of dissonant and unusual materials, colors and textures. These ovals keep reappearing in my work; they seem almost like groups of silent but sentient beings to me." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa.
