Stop by Markowicz Fine Art to see “Sphere 0824.60.01”, a brand new arrival by American artist Lisa Bartleson!
Lisa Bartleson is a California-based, interdisciplinary artist working across genres of painting, installation, sculpture, and ceramics. Known for her exploration of materiality within the light and space movement, her body of works consists of repetitive, meditative mark-making and lustrous color strips. Concentrating on light, color, and luminescence, Bartleson methodically captures discrete transitions between hues of color. Evoking a meditative state, her painting practice is intense and calming, kinetic and stagnant as each of her works focuses on a horizon point within the composition.
Lisa Bartleson’s art practice is comprised of unconventional, yet human approaches to concepts that require balance. She weighs materiality through scientific study and emotion; she considers articulations of interior and exterior, loss and fulfillment, experience and memory in the same space; and delves into light and darkness both conceptually and physically on the canvas. In addition, she seamlessly merges traditional practice with the industrial, contemporary materiality of pigmented resin. This painterly, multilayered approach to color is magnified by the undulating canvas, highlighting the sensuousness of the material and providing emotional, spatial, and aesthetic depth.
Bartleson’s work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally. Her work is held in a number of prominent private and museum collections, including the Museum of Art and History MOHA and the Pio Monte della Misericordia, Naples, Italy.
