Lydia Mutone
She/Her

She is a former resident of the Visual Arts Center and the Anderson Gallery in Richmond, VA. Her work has been exhibited at 1708 Gallery, Field, ADA Gallery, Try-me Gallery, Secret Flowers, and The Anderson Gallery.
Mutone’s practice centers on figures within intimate settings. She employs abstraction by pushing images back and forth within a digital editing realm and funneling the compilation into oil paint. Mutone works to mediate her opaque geometric paint application with the overall impact of translucent layered fluidity. This obfuscation of her digital touch plays with legibility and allows the viewer to piece together the composition. Duplications of a single subject are in motion, yet housed in a stagnant space. In these dramatic interactions, limbs are revealed and concealed as the figures stumble over each other to take the foreground.
