Lin La Mer

    Artist Statement

    THE ORDINARY things that surround us, that fill our lives, these are beautiful to

    me. Every object reflects light. Even dull objects are reflected in shinier

    things, and they also cast shadows of their own colors onto the surfaces

    where they sit.

    The way light transforms objects, how it seems to distort them, how it

    reflects from one surface to another, fascinates me. So, I focus this

    fascination using still life compositions of ordinary things, in oil paints,

    usually on oil-primed linen.

    I first develop the composition in detailed drawings, then a value study. I

    create the underpainting in oil, over which I put down thin layers of color.

    The glazes accumulate to build depth in the objects and complexity of light

    and dark.

    My desire is to elevate the beauty of ‘ordinary,’ to evoke wonder in us. I if

    my still life paintings help people see the wonder beauty of everyday life,

    then with each painting you enjoy, I achieve my goal.
