Claire Lehmann
Art Review
·Summer 2024
In a new series of eight small, deft paintings on linen, canvas and panel, Claire Lehmann merges the visual language of late-capitalist imaging with that of Early Renaissance painting. Along with the printed instructional imagery – taken from medical textbooks, industrial diagrams and other scientific and technical imaging – she has worked from for decades, here Lehmann burrows into early experiments in 3D imaging technology. Perhaps inevitably, these works depict failed renderings of bodily flesh. Melancholy hisses through her depictions of fissured tissue, as humans and animals appear to fragment and dissolve in mid-motion. . .
