Vibrant and immersive, this piece is a dynamic interplay of colour and texture. Magenta and plum push and pull against the subtle undertones of lilac, their tension echoing the artist’s intuitive approach to pigment. Each hue carries its own weight, shaping light and shadow across the canvas. Layers of paint are built up and stripped away using solvents and mediums, revealing hidden depths beneath the surface – like memories surfacing over time.

The artist discusses how her figures reveal themselves to her while she works the canvas. Rather than alluding to specific characters the forms appear ambiguous and free of a fixed identity. ‘Figures coagulate as fragments of sculpture or restless spirits, momentarily visible through a fracture in the veil. An ethereal hand reaches up from moss-green depths, while the features of a face become apparent in the absent space Loren carves from her paint. Under the power of Loren’s spell, paint is alchemical, oscillating between liquid and solid, transparent, and opaque, invoking figure and form.
