 Alicia LaChance is inspired by ancient, worn temple walls and the virtue of Japanese print maker, Utamaro’s design fluency. She is equally inspired by minimal purities of the power of color, color’s reaction to other color, and pure mark-making. Mark-making represents record of time and activity while exposing the artistic process and its vulnerabilities. Her painting intends to create a story of continuity between the past and present by collaging small bits of, what she considers contemporary graphic symbolism with nature references. Ultimately, Alicia LaChance hopes these oil paintings resonate with a broad spectrum of people, engaging the viewer in present time with a modern beauty created through worn surfaces and contemporary imagery.
