About Heidi Lanino

I am a figurative abstract painter from New York with a strong base in gestural drawing influenced by the transformative nature of movement. The foundation of my work is laid out in lines and marks. I often begin a painting by attaching charcoal and brushes to lengths of reed to enhance the gestural qualities of a piece. I then move closer, working in an additive and subtractive process, manipulating the surface until I’ve captured the essence of the form. The relationship between the abstract and the figurative is an essential element of my art. My work often reverts to a monochromatic palette, employing a calligraphic line to maintain the spiritual sensibility of my subject. I received my BFA from Pratt Institute. I lived in New York City for 17 years, studied drawing and painting nationally and internationally and was an art director for L’Oréal. After leaving New York City, I relocated to the Hudson Valley. I have shown in solo and group shows nationally and more recently in New York. My work is held in public and private collections including those of The Orange County Trust and the Orange Regional Medical Center. Please feel free to contact me directly for more information, or general inquiries. heidi@heidilanino.com
