PASSAGE

 
 

“Passage”: the act or process of moving from one place to another.

Lorimer’s new series entitled “Passage,” represents his transition from landscape to abstraction. 

Lorimer writes, “I just couldn’t paint another pine tree, I needed to change direction. The art world doesn’t like change, just ask Bob Dylan or Neil Young. And I get it, but I believe it’s important to evolve as an artist. If you’re not experimenting and pushing boundaries then you get stale and that gets reflected in the work”.

These new paintings are bold and fresh and represent a departure from his previous work. One can still see nature rooted in the work. The horizontal bar at the bottom of each painting hints at a foundation anchoring the separation of foreground and background, but otherwise these paintings are pure abstract energy.
