Ish Lipman's expressive oil paintings of sky, sea, and rolling hills populated by tiny figures investigate the complexities of the sublime in relationship to the contemporary landscape. Drawing upon our growing alienation from the natural world, Lipman’s paintings seek to explore this rift, aiming to examine the various anxieties and reveries that emerge from healing this inner divide. The paintings emerging from these investigations have a similar existence to those moments between sleeping and waking, where the world is colored with the aftertaste of a vivid dream.
