Untitled 

Here we see an untitled oil painting by Zoe Lerman. The painting invites us into a world of form and texture, defined by its delicate brushstrokes. The muted palette of whites, creams, and soft pastels creates a harmonious composition. Lerman’s handling of paint is particularly striking. The thick impasto, applied with visible brushstrokes, gives the surface a tactile quality, emphasizing the materiality of the painting. The visible brushwork destabilizes conventional representation, prompting the viewer to consider the act of painting itself. The painting also engages with broader philosophical concerns. Lerman challenges traditional notions of beauty, representation, and perception, inviting us to question fixed meanings and embrace ambiguity. Her use of impasto and color function not just aesthetically but as part of a larger cultural discourse that challenges traditional artistic conventions.
