Lara Feldman:  

In gestural compositions described in oil, Lara Feldman notates ephemeral scenes and the likenesses of friends and strangers. Her often fragmented impressions appear as if mediated by memory imperfectly recalled – at times unsettling, at others pervaded by the soft light of nostalgia. Feldman’s paintings are notable for their quality of colour, which transcribes her subjects in tones real, imagined and intuitively felt. Together, the artist’s impressionistic style and palette lend her paintings psychological potential and gesture to the elusive essence of the places and people she pictures. More recently, the artist has extended her practice to include monochromatic ink drawings and trace prints.
