Painting: acrylic and ink
LISA BARTH’S paintings are bold and colorful, free and flowing. Inspiring hope and joy, often bringing a sense of calm, quiet energy to the viewer.
She works primarily with acrylic paint and ink on canvas and synthetic papers, layering lavishly, pouring and moving fluidly, and scraping back to reveal underlying marks, with a focus on the process as much as the product.
Her paintings contain elements of chaos from which order and beauty emerge. There is abstraction no matter the subject.
Her floral paintings are watery reflections of flowers not yet visible in the natural world, a composite of many forms that fuse to become something familiar yet indistinct.
“My work is born out of the natural world. My earliest memories are outside in the gardens with my mom and grandmother. Gathering buttercups and dandelions while they did the hard work of weeding and pruning. Planting petunias and hyacinths, foraging seed pods from catalpa trees and tiny tomatoes from Turks caps. Sitting in the branches of Mimosa trees. Digging up iris rhizomes and finding little blue and green apothecary bottles.
Whether picking up pecans, harvesting wild mustang grapes or plucking blackberries along the railroad track, it’s the bright greens and pinks, blues and yellows of nature that swirl in my memories with the sunny warmth of love and the strength of gentle hands.
When I paint, it’s these memories and emotions that rouse and stir me, that ignite my movements and bring about images and brushstrokes. These seeds sown so long ago, in mostly forgotten moments, have transformed into the paintings I make today.”
