Milavec Hakimi Gallery is pleased to present Raw Spaces, a collection of works recently created by Lisa Lebofsky. This exhibition will be on view from February 23rd, 2012 through March 31st located at 51 Cooper Square, New York, NY 10003.
Lisa Lebofsky’s recent travels to Newfoundland and Antarctica are the inspiration this body of work. It is an exploration of nature in its raw form. The images are composed by applying thin layers of oil paint onto sanded aluminum. The exposed metal produces radiance that can either enhance, or alter the image. The result is an experience that imitates the changes of light and perception in a natural setting. Images of reverie, such as tidal waters, deep forests and ephemeral clouds are prominently featured — the apex of infinite space and contemplation.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"My work explores the potency of the mind when it engages with nature. The natural world functions as a launch point for liberating the mind from restrictions imposed by everyday life. In addition to being of limitless visual inspiration, nature provides an essential and symbolic role throughout my work – the sublime landscapes embody the transcendent psyche.
I find inspiration and collect source material by traveling extensively to immerse myself in different environments. I paint on-site or take digital photos to cultivate a library of images. I seek out remote areas that are generally sparse and uninhabited, and therefore ideal for contemplative transcendence."
