About The Work
in this large scale painting by Jesse Lambert, remnants of built structures of unknown use are scattered across a forested setting. Strips or planks of wood are nailed to tree trunks. A broken ladder promises ascent but falls apart. Fragments of wood and string hint at former use, yet all vestiges of functionality have disappeared. Abandoned bird feeders swing precariously. Within the chaos of darting birds, falling leaves and flowers, and remnants of built space, a pattern almost emerges. These paintings emote a feeling of webbed interconnectedness that reveals the beauty of decayed things, and an allure of the poignancy of impermanence.
Jesse Lambert's colorful ink and watercolor paintings on paper depict abandoned scenes in an abstracted rural space. Lambert combines the spaces of domesticity and the natural world. In these paintings, Lambert imagines the world abandoned by human inhabitants, reclaimed by nature- as if the world has moved on, without us.
