Cécile Lobert

Untitled, 2020

Acrylic on linen

75 x 115 cm | 30" x 45"

Moving back toward Lobert’s more traditional mode of layering, and incorporating a roller with her standard wall paintbrush, this piece denotes a shift in Lobert’s isolation timbre, even made with much laughter, a very rare occurrence. The uncustomary peek at raw canvas signals a breakthrough of lightness in the series, and a discerned change of direction toward a more robustly balanced expression. The varied textures and explosion of colors continue to bloom upon each other informing whimsical figurations that are both visually arresting and complementary; the intricacies of the artist’s soul laid bare.
