Collins Lefebvre Stoneberger

Le style de peinture séduisant et sublime de Lisa Parker contraste farouchement avec les épineux enjeux politiques et sociaux qui sont une partie intrinsèque des préoccupations modernes. Les agréables couleurs, les sujets souvent gais, la composition minutieusement ordonnée servent à livrer son message avec beaucoup de tendresse et d’humour. Ses peintures sont un hymne à la joie, à la peine, aux gens qu’elle aime, et à ceux qu’elle a perdus. Ses œuvres reflétant véritablement son âme et occasionnellement ses souvenirs, sont à la fois remplies d’espoir et d’émerveillement.
L’intérêt de Lisa pour les embrasures – fenêtres, portes, ouvertures – est historique. Elles procurent les ombres qu’elle adore peindre et elles filtrent, parfois même contiennent, les émotions qu’elle cherche à exprimer. Les ouvertures habitent suffisamment la composition pour permettre de larges champs de couleurs ambrosiaques des régions subtropicales où elle a grandi, lesquelles sont célébrées dans ses œuvres.
L’œuvre de Lisa se retrouve au « Museum of Modern Art » dans la ville de New York, au « Museum of Art » de Ft. Lauderdale en Floride, ainsi que dans de nombreuses et prestigieuses collections publiques et privées. Elle a également été récipiendaire de plusieurs bourses du gouvernement et de la récompense du « Art in Public Places Award »

Lisa Parker’s sublime and seductive painting style is in stark contrast to the thorny political and social issues that are part of contemporary concern. The luscious colors, the often playful objects, the carefully ordered composition serve to deliver her message with great tenderness and humour. Her paintings are paeans to joy, to sorrow, to people she loves and to people she has lost. While the works are truly soulful and on occasion, memento mori, they are at once full of hope and wonder.
Frameworks – windows, doors, apertures – accommodate, and perhaps even harness, the emotions she is expressing. The frames inhabit the composition sufficiently to allow for large fields of the ambrosial colors of the sub-tropics where she grew up and which are celebrated in her oils.
Lisa’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, The Museum of Art in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, many prestigious public and private collections. She has also been the recipient of numerous government grants and an Art in Public Places Award.
