About Lara Scolari

My 2013 body of work AIR explores and manipulates new materials and exhibits developed experimental techniques, reflecting my relaxed emotional state. I engage in the art making process on a subconscious level using my body and materials as a vehicle of expression The 2013 AIR (Artist in Residence) series of works were created within my time spent as the Artist in Residence for Ashfield Council, September - December 2013. My work creates a dialogue between layers of abstracted organic personal, sometimes figurative and cavernous forms suggestive of internal and intimate dioramas. I work expressively, almost automatically in applying layers of line, form and gradated tone in gestures that sometimes reference my interpretations of Hoffman, Rothko, Frankenthaler, Miro, Matisse and Picasso. I aim to create depth through layers in my work, and build up each layer using a variety of media and experimental methods. I endeavour to give each line and mark vibrancy, energy, motion, mystery and emotion that the viewer can experience. Lara’s works can be seen at Panoply Gallery, 1418 Malvern Rd., Glen Iris. www.panoplygallery.com.au.
