Wallpapering!

Once in awhile I like to feature wallpaper and textures in the background of my work. Here's a wip of the layers of cracked wallpaper in 'Nestled', a new oil painting for the 'RAIZ' group exhibition that's happening this Saturday with Thinkspace Projects at The Brand Library & Arts Center in Los Angeles.

"One day, the bird died. The woman felt terribly sad and spent all her time thinking about him. But she did not remember the cage, she thought only of the day when she had seen him for the first time, flying contentedly amongst the clouds. If she had looked more deeply into herself, she would have realized that what had thrilled her about the bird was his freedom, the energy of his wings in motion, not his physical body. Without the bird, her life too lost all meaning, and Death came knocking at her door. “Why have you come?” she asked Death. “So that you can fly once more with him across the sky,” Death replied. “If you had allowed him to come and go, you would have loved and admired him ever more; alas, you now need me in order to find him again.” An excerpt from Eleven Minutes by @paulocoelho that inspired 'Philomela', my new work for 'Small Works 2022' with @beinartgallery. This 8 by 10 inches oil on wood panel painting is now available for collecting via Beinart Gallery. Visit 'Philomela' link in my bio for details. https://beinart.org/collections/small-works-2022/products/jolene-lai-philomela-oil-on-wood 'Small Works 2022' Opening reception: Saturday, June 18th, 6 - 9pm. Exhibition will run from June 19th to July 10th. #JoleneLai #Philomela #beinartGallery #artShow #exhibition #art #artcollector #smallWorks #oilPainting #painting #Australia #bird #newcontemporaryart #PauloCoelho #ElevenMinutes #singaporeartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce42Sv9D33c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
