Magical Realism Paintings by Artist Lisa Lennon on Trendy Art Ideas

My name is Lisa Lennon and I am a full time artist living in the mountains near Malaga, Spain. I am originally from the Isle of man, a place of myth and folklore which was highly influential on me and comes through my work to this mean solar day. I studied at Camberwell School of Art, London in the early 90's where I originally focused on sculpture and over the years moved over to painting where I find I tin express my inner earth more colourfully.

My work is based in realism and nonetheless conveys the sublime nature of the mystery of life. I am interested in that fine line between what we see in the physical globe and the ineffable quality of beingness that is empirically experienced as timeless. I question the nature of reality and in there lies the desire to outwardly express information technology through painting.

The paintings are not overtly symbolic, there is not ane way to read them. I am often asked about the symbolism. I explain that the symbolism is implied, it is to reach beyond the mind to a place where mystery resides, beyond thought, beyond reason. To touch that place where all struggle to sympathize no longer exists, in a sense to enter a realm of stillness and wonder.

My work is oft characterised every bit magical realism. Magical realism is a way that explores the incongruousness and strangeness of existence. My paintings have a traditional feel but are informed past a life that has been unconventional and colourful.

When I am non painting I as well appoint in public speaking and I have written 2 books exploring similar topics to my paintings. ~ @lisalennonart
