Lois Tarlow: Material Vocabulary
Lois Tarlow has been part of the fabric of art in New England for nearly seven decades. In seeking to evaluate an immense and rich body of work, this exhibition highlights themes and techniques that have appeared throughout her career. Lois’s “material vocabulary,” a varied and exquisite use of materials across media, is the thread that unites all of her work, and her choice of media reflect specific and significant life moments. Lois’s works have always been about layers—physical and psychological, what hides in the dark, what lies beneath, and ultimately what comes to the surface. This artistic intensity will be explored in four exhibition sections, including paintings, drawings, prints, and mixed media.
