Some of these images are lanterns in the evening , country walkways, night blooming Cereus, a black cat, the implements of tea, women standing and reclining, hands. All of these themes can be seen in this show. But what makes this show powerful, moving and effective in communicating the artist's vision is the quality of the work itself. Colors are soft but fresh and clear. The images are subtle yet very distinct and balanced.
Every piece has a sureness behind it in terms of handling the media and color, composition and form.
Every piece expresses an aspect of grace and dignity. None of the pieces are heavy, muddy or automatic. Monoprints are wonderful when they work. But more than any other medium that I know they require a sure hand in execution, a discerning eye, and a mature understanding of the medium. The show expresses Lisa's appreciation of the past and of different cultures.
