The Artist
Lisa in Detroit 1990-1991 at CCS (Center for Creative Studies)
In her 20s, Lisa Marie produced three major successful art shows—showcasing the most famous models in the 90s —an inspiration for an exploration of power, sexuality and in-bridal depth. The medium, gouache and ink (on archive board/canvas) were created through a technique she learned from her teacher in Detroit. (Formally, ACAD’s (Alberta College of Art & Design) mobility program was in Detroit, Michigan, from 1990 to 1991.
“The technique is interesting because I paint white on white–the opposite of drawing naturally, then wash with black ink to reveal an amazing texture of greys.
Many people were disturbed by the boldness of the images; however, in reality, I picked them for their depth of grey variance so I could practice perfecting the technique. And my mother was a model in the 60s, and I had this burning desire to be a model as a young girl). This was just a reflection of where I was in my 20s - confused, daring, aggressive, sexy, bold, and powerful. —Lisa B.
"It's true that to be a great artist you must suffer. Depth only comes from useful pain and inquiry into the unknown–the dark places of our minds." — Lisa Marie Belter
