Audrey (Close-up), Oil on Board 24 x 36

• Lori Early

Lori Earley (born in Rye, New York) is a pop surrealist painter specializing in stunning surreal portraits of esoteric women. Earley’s oil paintings have a unique eerie style; she interestingly combines classical realistic rendering with her innate desire to create the world she feels that’s often inspired by the imagination of high-end fashion icons such as Alexander McQueen or the exotic wardrobes of Jennifer Nicholson. Earley’s central focus of expression in her portraits are the large exaggerated eyes. These are dramatic illuminations in paintings riddled with desire, implicit emotion, and very mysterious atmospheres. Nevertheless these works have a melancholic aspect and something surrealistic, a glance that evokes mood and form as equally poignant and fragile as the textured fashionable dress’ they wear. Each beautifully rendered painting requires a mastery of technical skill and painstaking execution that’s second to none.
