RISE UP: Constellation-style wall art by Lori Lejeune since 2010 Installation

I create mixed media, cross-disciplinary art which frequently incorporates innovative digital elements. Commissions are accepted and I offer work on canvas, metal and vinyl. I originated a constellation style of wall installation in Atlanta in 2010. My signature large-scale wall installations often feature multiple smaller artworks of varying sizes combined to create elegant patterns on the wall. In 2006, I was inspired to experiment with circular artwork by the late artist Diane Hause who invited artists to exhibit work on recycled compact disks at her gallery in Atlanta which led to the origination of my “constellation” wall installation style by 2010. Many viewers comment that my organic installation work reminds them of a constellation. The patterns suggest a sequence in time, movement or a feeling. The work activates modern spaces and public sites. Overcoming is a recurrent theme in my work. The Flight series features the imagery of birds and other winged creatures overcoming gravity through flight and often appears in my wall installation work. The work combines paint and traditional fine art techniques with digital processes. The series stands for overcoming the forces in life that weigh us down, offering an uplifting message of transcending adversity.
