Lisa Stefanelli is primarily known for complex arabesques flawlessly painted in rich red or
blue tones. Hand drawn sumptuous lines stretch into wisps and bulges like thinning taffy
across luminous pristine grounds. Some recall complex symmetrical patterns one associates
with illuminated manuscripts, hot-rod emblems and lacework while others recall liquid
spills and the way drops of ink swirl and fold in a glass of clear water.
For this show Stefanelli develops the work exploring two new territories. Imagery in the past
that has been ostensibly abstract pattern, now hints at a more specific figural presence, and
she has added an elongated format and denser repetitions of gesture that combine to
become more metaphorical than matter-of fact.
The images continue to have the magic of behaving like a cloud that shape-shifts as you
watch, yet the concentration of line nudges interpretation towards something more
structured and tangible, something in the world, but yet something so elusive that you just
can’t quite name.
