Lori Marble - Artist Statement
Considered as a whole, this exhibit is a representation of my artistic exploration throughout the pandemic period. Painting daily gave me something to focus on other than the news.
Each piece I paint begins with words written in cursive using a Stabile pencil and my left (non dominant) hand on the paper or canvas. The words are snippets of conversation, lyrics from a song, fleeting thoughts, prayers and hopes. I then use a palette knife and begin laying bold swatches of color that - to me - capture the essence of that initial written consideration.
Music is always playing when I paint. I can look at any of the pieces in this exhibit and hear the melody. The titles may represent the initial written message or the music playing when I was painting.
Enjoy the exhibit as a whole. You may puzzle over some painting or laugh out loud when viewing others. Ponder what images you see or emotions the work evoke. When viewing a piece, tilt your head sideways and hum “hmmmmmm”…sometimes that helps - or at least it sounds “artsy”.
