A Remembrance of Paradise Past

Los Angeles art critic and writer A. Moret presents an in depth look into the work of artist Lisa Adams, examining the two largest and most complex paintings of the artist's career to date.

The two paintings were created specifically for a group exhibition titled "Edenistic Divergence" curated by Andi Campognone-Couwenberg at the Riverside Art Museum, Riverside, California. The exhibition runs from November 21, 2009 thru February 20, 2010. Lisa Adams is a Los Angeles based artist with an MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Among many awards, she is the recipient of a Fulbright Professional Scholar Award, has been an artist-in-residence in Europe and Asia and is in the collection of Eli Broad. She is represented in Los Angeles by Lawrence Asher Gallery and in San Francisco by Michael Rosenthal Gallery.

The magazine was designed by award-winning, graphic designer Jayme Odgers.
