Lena Brazin

Brazin’s figurative paintings explore the seen and the unseen with an attempt to materialise immateriality, to reflect the fulness of human existence. The iconography in the paintings displays exaggerated and expressively narrated past and present ordinary moments of her life as well as her mystical experiences. She layers her work with vibrant colours and bold brushwork which forces an immediate impression on the audience, rooting them in the moment. Different textures represent mixed dimensions of one’s life where physical matter is being lifted like the veil exposing the ethereal and subconscious. Her work embodies an essential way of understanding the contemporary self, full of paradoxes. Her interest in the observation of the universal complexity of everyday existence including its metaphysical aspects is mirrored in her painting process which is one of instinct and collaboration. She simply listens, responds, and enables the artworks to dictate their own destiny, not forcing any direction and results upon them. With this intuitive approach, the supernatural can manifest itself on the surface. Apparently random visuals are always plucked from somewhere, some feeling, vision, photograph, or thought, they are whole.
