An action/gestural painter, Lara Scolari (b.1972) produces work in an Abstract Expressionist style that explores her theme of capturing unseen life-force and emotion. Scolari is interested in how energy informs the painting and viewing process, exploring multilayered organic forms that create an enlivening space for contemplation and a resting place for thoughts. Her work is inspired by memory, meditation, music and influenced by the Australian culture.
