Lisa Lapinski sculptures
The Fret And Its Variant
Lisa Lapinski’s installations utilize wood, wallpaper, and various found objects, in addition to other, more sturdy, materials. She approaches the traditional methods and boundaries of space and volume and shatters these practices while incorporating questions of language, association, and pattern. In essence, Lapinski’s imaginative sculptures incorporate staples of their genre such as wood and wire, cement and clay, as well as more conventional forms of photography, painting, and drawing. Her unique combination of contrasting materials helps her work resonate with with narrative meaning that often derives from psychological, historical, and philosophical meaning.
Lisa Lapinski earned her master of fine arts degree from Art Center College of Design in 2000. She has had work featured in galleries from Los Angeles to Berlin. Lapinski’s sculptures are intricately crafted and formally compelling. Yet through her unexpected combinations of imagery and materials both playful and foreboding viewers are drawn to attempt a deciphering of the uncertain narratives.
The multi-item combination allows Lapinski to import materials and histories to generate stunning and captivating forms. The items in her sculptures have two lives as objects with their own pasts, but also as interconnected limbs of Lapinski’s sculptural concoctions. She weaves histories and meanings into beautifully provocative sculptures.
