Opening Reception
Please join us for the opening reception of Kirstin Lamb | Woods on Saturday, April 27 from 3pm-5pm. The exhibition includes new paintings by Lamb of varying sizes, mostly composed of New England woods that she has walked through on foot. The works are made from digital patterns Lamb makes from photographs, which she then paints on Duralar, a wet media acetate. The patterns are derived from the photographs, but also abstract and blur the photograph to a greater or lesser degree, depending upon scale and complexity of the image. The paintings blur between a focused Photorealism, a computer-generated pattern and a fetishized repetition of an acrylic paint mark. Much of what Lamb does is mix and organize color. That the excess of labor behind the picture surprisingly makes each one seem more immediate and present.
“I want the experience of my paintings to be much like walking in the woods. Surrounded by a fabric of green, an excess of detail, the labor of making the painting stands as a devotional homage to the complexity and slow growth of the forest.” – Kirstin Lamb
