EARLEY Lori
Lori Earley grew up down the street from an amusement park in Rye, New York.
She began drawing at a very young age, and was always intrigued by the
unusual- a fascination that would become a trait in her art later on.
Lori received her Bachelor of Fine arts degree from the school of Visual
Arts, where she had studied with influential artists like Marshall Arisman
and Steven Assael. She received numerous awards and scholarships while in
school and was one of the few students in her graduating class to received
Rhodes presidential award for her outstanding achievement.
In 2004, she began exhibiting her oil paintings. Her debut feature article
can be found in the March/ April 2005 issue of Juxtapoz magazine, where her
painting of 'The Hunter' graced the cover. Since then, her fine art career
catapulted at an unusually fast pace. Her eerily beautiful art has been
exhibited in galleries such as New York City's Jonathan Levine Gallery and
the Opera Gallery and California's Copro Nason Gallery, leading up to her
first solo show at Seattle's Roq La Rue Gallery in June 2005.
Her oil paintings are a unique combination of classical realistic rendering
with a person element of distortion. Their distortion is derived from her
innate desire to render the worlds she feels, as opposed to the world she
sees before her. Often, the eyes are the primary focus of expression and
every painting is a portrait of implicit emotion and mystery- though the
message is never obvious. The figures she paints exist in their own esoteric
realm and time, and each painting offers a glimpse into their anomalous
world.
