October 2009 – Laments and Lullabies: Lori Earley
Hailed as the “leading female artist of the burgeoning Pop Surrealism movement” by NY Arts Magazine, Lori Earley is celebrated for her ethereal portraits of femme fatales. Reflecting a distorted reality, Earley’s subjects are characterised by elongated figures, exaggerated eyes, Victorianesque couture and textured backgrounds.
Mystery and melancholy combine with an intense colour palette in Earley’s latest exhibition at London’s Opera Gallery. Already highly sought after by art collectors, Laments and Lullabies is Earley’s most ambitious and evocative collection to date. An intuitive painter, Earley’s stylised portraits depict a rare artistic finesse, extraordinary eye for detail and raw human emotion.
