Summary

"I work predominantly in oil paints in a representational manner, from life as well as imagination. My paintings are about reverence for the moment, which is evident in the slow and careful mark-making with which I record my response to the world. In a busy, hectic, era, slowing down is healing."
-Lauren Jane Kindle

Lauren Kindle is a painter working predominantly with oil paints. In her painting practice she attempts to understand her subject more deeply, as well as her own inner response. The themes of reverence and mystery run throughout her work, mostly as a quiet undercurrent. Her contemplation of the physical object can easily translate into reverence for the moment itself. She is inspired by the intimacy of domestic spaces, beloved family members, and simple, common objects. Given time, the viewer’s awareness expands to the light and space surrounding the figures and objects. Her paintings evoke a sense of slowness, which is evident in the physicality of the painting’s surface—the slow and careful mark-making with which she records her response to the world. In a busy, hectic era, slowing down is healing. Whether she evokes the imagery of real or imagined landscapes and interior spaces, the rich symbolism of flowers and fruit, or the layered meanings of stories from ancient mythology, her paintings ultimately honor the sacredness of life. The act of painting becomes a healing offering and a gesture of gratitude for the gift of life itself.
