Lola is a contemporary artist who is known for her resin
abstractions. Her previous work was an exploration of layered
forms and bright hues. The compositions elicited joy. With each
body of work, there is an evolution. Her new series is the former
deconstructed. Instead of a multitude of stacked shapes, the forms
are simpler, and the work minimalistic. The compositions are tied
together by the use of a shadowy overlay. This new body of work
invites the viewer to embrace feelings of serenity and tranquility.
A common philosophy she consistently adheres to is the desire to
evoke positive feelings through the use of color. Lola has always
used tinted resin for this intent. Resin has a high gloss finish, when
combined with pigments the medium harmoniously captures her
vision. Lola works on a raised horizontal plane, allowing the resin
to spill over and collect in to drips. The drips have become
signature to her work. Each finished piece goes beyond the
intended composition. When looking at the sides, the viewer is
pleasantly surprised by the gravity defying drips. This element
furthers her commitment to create work that inspires an “all
around” good feeling.
