Lola Gil
Lola Gil currently base in Philadelphia, USA.
As a self taught artist, Lola Gil was greatly inspired by Salvador Dali, Yves Tanguy, and Rene Magritte. Her sophisticated painting merges Surrealism and Symbolism, allowing viewers to travel through the dreamlike narratives at play in her works. Gil’s characters are frequently seen through the lens of a translucent object, the distortion a means of exemplifying the complexity of humankind. The deliberate ambiguity present throughout her work permits her audience to sometimes see themselves or simply to escape into the tranquil world of Gil’s imagination.
“Throughout my career I have always been a painter of narrative escapism, with my work evoking personal connections for each individual viewer. Because it is executed in a surreal way, it allows the viewer to create their own story and meaning.” - artist statement
Lola Gil目前在美國費城生活和工作。
作為一名自學成才的藝術家，Lola Gil 深受 Salvador Dali、Yves Tanguy 和 Rene Magritte等藝術大師的啟發。 她精緻的繪畫融合了超現實主義和象徵主義，讓觀眾可以穿梭於其作品夢幻般的敘事中。Gil 的角色經常是透過各種半透明物體才被看見，這種扭曲的視角是體現人類複雜性的一種手段。 Gil 作品中的模棱兩可讓觀眾有時能從中反思己身，又或是單純地逃入她所想像的寧靜世界。
「在整個職業生涯中，我一直是一個敘事逃避主義畫家。我的作品可以喚起每個觀眾對自身的聯想，因為它們是以超現實的方式呈現，並允許觀眾創造自己的故事和意義。」― 藝術家自述
