Dreaming Figure

Lisa Mee (b.1974, American) “Dreaming Figure” (2020) is an original work of acrylic and metallic paint on canvas measuring 30 x 24 inches unframed and hand signed in the lower left. Mee’s notes on this piece are as follows: 'I love the languorous lines of simplified figures. This image verges on the abstract using strong designs but is a nod to the great Matisse, who created works of eternal and ethereal beauty. This painting portrays a figure in complete surrender to a dreaming state, a peaceful emotional place without time or stress.' Lisa’s contemporary expressionist style reflects her special creativity, light, and wonderful use of bright colors.

Following her completion of ‘Dreaming Figure’, Lisa Mee posted pictures of it on Facebook with the following comment: “I was going to title it ' Wake Me When This Nightmare of a Year Is Over' ! At times, it's necessary to retreat into a space of internal peace and balance to re-center. There is so much upheaval surrounding us worldwide that peace has suddenly become a rare state.”
