April/May 2006 Monksdogz Urban Art, International Show Review
Reviewed by Ed Mc Cormack.
For Arts & Studio New York Arts Magazine. New York.
Irish artist Jim Lawn endeavors to apprehend an elusive subject in his composition "Atlantic Mist" with its amorphous forms and light akin to Turner's "Tinted Stream." Here, as well as in other paintings, such as Fruits of Creation," Lawn's buoyant visual poetry and chromatic frisson are optically seductive, with soft focused forms and mystery. Lawn's paintings remind one of how evocative and relevant abstract painting can be when it is concerned with subjective exploration rather than achieving a formal effect.
