About Laurie Lipton
Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of four. She was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with a Fine Arts Degree in Drawing (with honours). She has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany, France and London, and has made her home in Los Angeles since 2011. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the USA.
Lipton was inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School. She tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 16th century Dutch Masters and failed. When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique, building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. โItโs an insane way to drawโ, she says, โbut the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort. My drawings take longer to create than a painting of equal size and detail.โ
โIt was all abstract and conceptual art when I attended university. My teachers told me that figurative art went โoutโ in the Middle Ages and that I should express myself using form and shapes, but splashes on canvas and rocks on the floor bored me. I knew what I wanted: I wanted to create something no one had ever seen before, something that was brewing in the back of my brain. I used to sit for hours in the library copying Durer, Memling, Van Eyck, Goya and Rembrandt. The photographer, Diane Arbus, was another of my inspirations. Her use of black and white hit me at the core of my Being. Black and white is the color of ancient photographs and old TV showsโฆ it is the color of ghosts, longing, time passing, memory, and madness. Black and white ached. I realized that it was perfect for the imagery in my work.โ

Laurie Lipton, by Deleted on Jan 3, 2017 18:39:33 GMT 1, Laurie Lipton is a great artist. The small photo doesn't do her art any justice. Her art is easily googleable.
