- Lori Earley
Lori Earley (born in Rye, New York [ [http://www.loriearley.com/ Lori Earley Website] ] ) is an american pop surrealist artist who specializes in painting surreal portraits of women.
Born and raised in New York, Lori Earley was an accomplished and gifted artist from a young age. As a maturing adolescent, she discovered her distinct style and fondness for painting deeply personal subject matter. She then began her journey towards becoming a professional oil painter through fine art training at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her innate passion for expressing mood and emotion on canvas and paper along with her mastery of technique in oil and graphite was soon recognized, in the United States and abroad. Earley was acclaimed as an exceptional new talent, praised for her authentic portraiture. Her stylized, elongated subjects echoed Mannerist elements and the dramatic lighting of the Baroque period. Her distorted realism drew attention from established artists, collectors, and galleries on the West Coast and immediately propelled Earley to the forefront of a burgeoning artmovement. Her recognition as a leading female contemporary master painter grew internationally and moved Earley into he celebrated realm of solo exhibitions in Seattle, Santa Monica, and New York City. Earley’s stunning portraits have attracted an audience of collectors who treasure owning a rare, truly unique work of art. While her femme fatale portraits mature in style and intensity, they retain her signature ethereal quality that embodies an undeniably feminine force. Her portraits always capture elusive moments in the artist's individual perception and experience, viewed through her imaginative lens.
According to
Debra Anderson ofCulture Shock Marketing , a New York based marketing consultancy, Earley's work, "presents both deeply personal and stylized works; complex drawings that are painstakingly detailed and highly refined. Her elongated style and surrealist portraits confront the voyeur with a new intensity and confidence, both in the art and the artist. Earley’s meticulous attention to detail and texture accent her mastery and control of technique, creating flawless studies. She continues to build mystery and narrative around her evocative female portraits with their expressive eyes and distorted realism." [ [http://www.cultureshockmarketing.com/press/fade_to_gray.pdf cultureshockmarketing.com] ]The artist describes her work as "a combination of classical realistic rendering with a personal element of distortion."
