Six paintings by Lorraine Tyler
As you all know, this website is about John Frusciante and his work in Red Hot Chili Peppers, tremendous opus of solo stuff and collaborations. But every now and then, Invisible Movement gladly features super-talented creative professionals and amateurs who found a lot of inspiration for their work in the works of John Frusciante. Two months ago, young French filmmaker/photographer Raphael s presented his music video here. This time, you all get a chance to enjoy the emotional and colourful paintings.
Lorraine Tyler of Wanganui, New Zealand; is a talented painter. Her artwork is currently being exhibited in Wellington and amongst the pieces, there are six of John. I stumbled upon them on Flickr and I asked Lorraine if she would mind describing her artwork and having it exhibited on Invisible Movement. The following are her paintings, her words and a photo of her next to the Loss of Known Intention painting at the opening night of her exhibition.
I’m inspired by the positivity in his music; no matter how extremely his life has undulated, John Frusciante is still able to be a creative being, and a very dedicated one. Each of the paintings in this series documents a piece of his story. It’s as though each one represents a different person, yet they are all bound together. Every second in a one’s life can present a different person to the world, though, so this series could go for miles if it needed to. Frusciante could feed my inspiration that much, too, because he seems so different from me in experiences and perceptions, thereby I’ve learned a lot from him. I’d like to share that with viewers through colour, texture, and shape.
These paintings are a combination of oil paint on canvas, and watercolour paint with gesso on canvas. Five of them are currently in the “Colourful Personalities” exhibition at Parade Cafe on Oriental Parade in Wellington, New Zealand.
So, if you’re in the area, do visit Lorraine’s exibition…and, regardless of where you are in the world, check out the rest of her well-structured and vibrant artwork on Flickr.
