Lydia Mutone – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS

Paintings by artist Lydia Mutone from Richmond, Virginia. Mutone received her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2021. Her work explores figures within intimate settings and warping memory. She makes use of abstraction, pushing images back and forth via digital editing before transitioning the compilation into oil paint. Playing with legibility and obfuscation, Mutone depicts duplicates of a single subject set in motion yet occupying a stagnant space. Limbs are simultaneously revealed and concealed as figures stumble over one another suggesting both the sense of shifting time and having caught a glimpse of a single mystical moment.
