LORI NELSON




Lori Nelson grew up in the West but migrated with her young family to
Brooklyn five years ago where she paints in an old unheated factory almost directly
underneath the Manhattan Bridge. She draws from the jumbled architecture of industrial
Brooklyn, the parched deserts of Colorado and Utah, and the awkwardness of everyday life everywhere for her narrative paintings whose visual depth are reminiscent of the
Old Masters although the color palette echoes sweet 1950's school book illustration.
