Lisa Adams: Vicissitude of Circumstance

LISA ADAMS: VICISSITUDE OF CIRCUMSTANCE surveys the seductive, shape-shifting psyche within Lisa Adams' haunting, mentally charged paintings. Almost cinematic in their dream-like construction of unexpected narrative and reclusive symbolism, the works document memory in strange and beautiful ways. Meaning unfurls in time lapse, both infused with a sense of rapid-fire immediacy and expansive timelessness. Like Zen koans, implausible questions take precedence over didacticism, urging viewers to forgo rational thought in order to access a deeper intuition. Transmitting informational systems, circumstance, and story with a delicate, yet commanding, organic pulse-- as if through the snap of an electrically charged synapse-- her images resonate within the subconscious and sublime.
