Excellent work, Lisa. Interesting variations in contrast and saturation. I particlularly admire six seven and ten.
I find the criticism of \"repetitive\" to be boring and well... ignorant. Professional artists do many works that are similar and in their style and genre. They are after all satisfying the demands of a paying public. Paying being the important word here.
Thank you for the \"ignorant\". I don\'t think you\'re ignorant, you just can\'t accept something different from what you think.
\"Copy/paste work\" made my day!
Let me try to be clear about the \"repetitive critique\" as ignorance.
Do we go to a showing of an artist\'s new work and expect each piece to be remarkably different and bear no relationship to one another? I\'m not talking about a career retrospective. But during a limited period of time I\'ve never known a working artist whose works were not tightly related and by many measures repetitive. What the critics are expressing here is a boredom of \"hey, I\'ve seen it before.\" I don\'t consider that a fair art criticism.
These images of Lisa\'s are expressing mothers to be as heroic with a sweeping beautiful grandness. Why, as an artist, should she not explore this in depth with the clients who wish to be represented this way. And of course she\'s going to use the exceptional Red Rock backgrounds of her backyard.
So yeah, we\'ve seen this maternity aspect of her work before but why is that a legitimate criticism? To me it is not. It\'s just expresses a poor understanding of how artists make art.
If that is disrespectful on my part so be it. I\'ll own it.
