Eye Candy Collage by Lorette C Luzajic

About The Artwork

All paintings are on stretched canvas come ready to hang, with canvas stretched over gallery stretcher bars flush 1.5 inches (the small squares, 12x12”, are ¾ inch mount) . This is the “hidden frame” behind a mounted canvas, meaning you do not have to frame it- it is ready to hang as is. The edges are painted black for a clean effect, and there is a wire on back for easy hanging on a nail. All artworks are treated with a lightly glossy top coat that seals and protects the painting. "A superhuman effort to coalesce the imaginative world." Moray Mair, Mutant Space Arts "Luzajic, like Wonder Woman, is her own institution." Paul Robinson, Blog Critics "Queen of the fantastic." Carrie Shibinsky, Art Bomb Daily Statement: Compared to Rauschenberg, Schwitters, and Basquiat, and inspired by Warhol, Joseph Cornell, Robert Motherwell, and Antoni Tapies, I wear my influences on my sleeve. Appropriating relentlessly from art history, advertising, music, literature, culture, religion, and my travels, I plunder everything to create original work that reflects my own experiences as a woman and as an artist. I am driven by eclectic curiosity, and by the joy of juxtaposition. My work is a curiosity cabinet and an apothecary of magic potions and spells. It is filled with poetry, grief, the broken shards of faith, all that I have seen so far, and a veritable lexicon of fragmented symbols. It is the frantic pace of the city and the magnificent silence of the night. It is about love and death and the sacred and inane, and the absurdity and beauty in all things. bio: Lorette C.
