Lisa Montag Brotman Narrative
About   | Women   | Narrative   | Editions  

The narrative paintings play on the discrepancy between image and words. The extremity and irony of the figures that populate this imaginary world accentuate the understatement implied by the titles. Distinctively human feelings, frustrations and losses are presented with humor and exaggeration. Titles are painted on the surface to underscore the interplay of words and images.
