About the Item

"Free Spirit" is a compelling 36" x 36" mixed media piece on canvas, resonating with the ethos of Abstract Expressionism. Its monochromatic palette, dominated by shades of white and gray with bold, assertive black strokes, creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. The fluidity and energy of the black forms suggest movement and spontaneity, while the subtle textures and layers in the background evoke depth and complexity. The title "Free Spirit" aptly reflects the artwork's sense of liberation and the unfettered expression of the artist's inner world. This piece invites viewers to a contemplative space, where forms and strokes coalesce into a personal interpretation of freedom and release. About the Artist: Lorraine Lawson's artistry lies at the intersection of the representational and the abstract, influenced by the transformative power of nature, culture, and architecture. Her work is an artistic tribute to the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time, drawing on the Japanese concept of Wabisabi to honor the beauty in the worn and broken. Lawson's abstract, textural paintings are rich with layers that evoke memories and a sense of place, achieved through innovative techniques with paint and encaustic mediums. Her practice involves a continual evolution of visual symbols and an exploration of techniques, all aimed at capturing the lyrical expressions of life's experiences. Her dedication to her craft is fueled by years of keen observation and a passion for expressing the profound narrative of life through her unique visual language. Original, 1-of-1. Available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Keywords: black, white, abstract art, abstract expressionist art, mixed media, Lorraine Lawson, free spirit, light, shadow
