Artist Lauren Russell

Grover Beach, California

Road to Home

Oil Painting

Artist Statement
Developing the piece “Road to Home” was a bit of a journey. I utilized photography from my travels combined with a reliance on my unconscious to aid in its design. Glancing through my myriad of photographs I could not decide which one I wanted to paint. Each of these captured instances in my history triggered an emotional response, leaving my mind racing with memories. Although wonderful, it had me staring at a blank canvas. Finally, I grabbed an image I knew I wanted to re-render and began the task of creating my beautiful home’s sunset. I started to map the scene, and while doing this, I was reminiscing about how long it had taken me to get back to my home. Images how each mile was difficult and exciting leading me back home, to a place of serenity.
Before I knew it, I was dividing the canvas in two. It dawned on me that I wanted to show part of that travel towards home. The second image needed to show a road, and be a different time of day. The idea of time was important because as you travel, time travels with you. I was cognitively aware of the images and the memories associated with them, but intuition guided me when I selected the final two displayed in this piece. The juxtaposition created a dialogue between two images, but by overlapping the two a unity formed. I believe the convergence of these separate experiences can supply more meaning than what a single image and its history alone can provide. I hope that the viewer will see that within the confines of one canvas there can lie a multitude of experiences that are separate, but together create a working unity.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
