Emily Noelle Lambert
Emily Noelle Lambert’s paintings are a balance between control and chance, the physical and the psychological. She searches for the unintentionally arranged, the beautifully awkward, and the incongruous images, which are the conceptual building blocks of her paintings and sculptures. Her paintings are a portal into the landscape of the mind, a hurricane of movement and collision of prismatic and vibrant color and form.
The process of uncovering and peeling away material, meaning, and ultimately herself drives Lambert’s work. She intuitively explores her experiences by extracting them–both consciously and subconsciously–from a visual language of impressions, recollections, and desires. Collage is an important element, both metaphorically and literally. In many paintings the collage takes the form of images, brush strokes, and pattern; some paintings include traditional collage materials such as cut paper while others include net and glass beads as well as paper. The inclusion of these materials reflects her desire for a greater physicality, more muscle and fight, and a yearning to see thought made tangible. Ultimately, her process of painting is aligned with the process of living, a search for meaning and lyricism and a striving for both.
