New Beginnings, a Solo Exhibit by Lori Glavin

Event Details

One of the best ways to describe Lori Gavin’s work, according to Anne Siegfried, The George Gallery owner, is –personal.

“Glavin doesn’t pick up her paintbrush to make something ‘pretty’ or to recreate an object; she paints her life, her emotions, and her environment. She has learned in her twenty plus years as a professional artist, how to tell the story of the everyday through her paintings and collages. Her style is best described as abstract expressionism, with the added graphic quality of her collage work. Glavin works in a style that is very relevant today. She comes by it authentically, through her life experience.”

“My work is inspired by the visual clutter of the mundane places I know best, the domestic environment, or the tilted landscape of my weekend garden. In my home, possessions are stacked and scattered, organized and misplaced, remembered and forgotten. This dichotomy informs and inspires my studio practice. I make piles to gain control and to find order in a world of excess data, information and consumer goods. In my work I combine, collect, and sort – layering small bits to make an arrangement of color and shape that becomes a monument to the minutiae of my daily life,” as stated by Lori Glavin.
