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.
