About the Item
For Elizabeth Barlow, painting the intricate details of a flower is a meditation that promotes a deep reverence for all living things. The artist imbues her works with a radiant light that speaks to a spiritual connection accessible through the contemplation of nature. Her 'Portraits in Absentia' explore flowers (Barlow's most beloved subject) as well as everyday objects that are imbued with meaning if one looks closely enough. Firmly rooted in realism and created in the spirit of the great portraiture tradition, Barlow's signature still life paintings offer viewers a respite of serenity, beauty and joy.
Elizabeth Barlow’s work has been recently exhibited at the Monterey Museum of Art, New Museum Los Gatos, the Triton Museum of Art, and Marin MOCA, in California. This oil on linen with a dimension of 24 X 24 inches. 'Artist signed, titled and dated. From Andra Norris Gallery in California

Elizabeth Barlow
Elizabeth Barlow meticulously creates oil portraits that feature still-life objects to represent the essence of her subject. In this case, the artist depicts the concept of beauty through the placement of flowers and their shadows. Barlow's humor and joy come into play in her paintings that bridge Pop Art with Realism, in her unique still-life compositions. By skewing traditional portraiture and still life, she captures individuals and ideas, with her unique, contemporary style that she calls Portraits in Absentia. Barlow’s work has been recently exhibited at the New Museum Los Gatos, the Triton Museum of Art and the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, California.
