Norwegian-American artist Ida Lorentzen’s pastels and oils will be on display at the Harmon-Meek Gallery from March 12 through March 23.
Lorentzen has spent most of her life in Norway and has been featured in group and solo exhibitions at many art museums there. Her works, mostly of interior spaces, are a cross between Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, and her work has been the subject of at least five books. In March her art will be exhibited at Harmon-Meek Gallery in Naples, Florida.
Of her own paintings Lorentzen says, “I always hark back to my student days and quote Philip Guston, who was then teaching at Boston University College of Fine Art: ‘We are image-makers, and image-ridden.’ And after many years I see how my own motifs do follow me.”
