Lauren Luloff is an American artist widely known for her delicate and intricate pieces consisting of dyed silk and bleached fabrics. Her work blurs the boundaries between painting and textile work, and draws inspiration from nature and folk traditions. She favors organic forms like flowers, plants, and water, which she captures in vibrant colors on silk, combining patterns with natural elements. Her recent creations incorporate both figurative features and abstract forms through the use of geometric elements like grids, mazes, and waves. These abstract compositions are accomplished by cutting, rearranging, or sewing fabrics to create layers. Luloff’s use of textiles captures her everyday observations and feelings elicited by nature, and often reflects the scenery of Maine, where her studio is located. Her choice of materials and modes of expression cross folk art and contemporary painting, blending a wide range of cultural elements.
