American artist Emily Noelle Lambert creates abstract paintings, totemic sculptures and installations that echo an evocative interrelation between color and form. Inspired by automatic drawings and plein air painting, Lambert’s gestural compositions reflect different aspects of her surroundings. Robust with geometric and biomorphic flat planes of color, each canvas expresses a unique portrayal of nature.
Tethered to her paintings are her sculptures that function as a metaphor for the environment. Utilizing found objects, Lambert’s precariously stacked totems reveal a sense of temporality and impermanence.
Both celebratory and introspective, Lambert’s work invites the viewer to look beyond the scope of their surroundings and into the realm of possibility.
