Drawing It Out, reportaje sobre Laurie Lipton.

Lipton was inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School. Unfortunately she went to university when Conceptual Art was all the rage & no one could teach her how to paint like an early Renaissance Master. She tried to teach herself from books and failed. While traveling around Europe in her 20’s, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. «It’s an insane way to draw», she says, «but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort».

Laurie is currently represented by the Ace Gallery, Los Angeles, and can be contacted through her website or Facebook page.
