lex·i·con noun
The vocabulary of a person, language, or branch of knowledge.
Lexicon Series is an ongoing series started in 2015. Every year I keep a list of words and concepts that stand out to me. Many of the phrases are popular sayings and feelings of the year while others are autobiographical. Once I have my list I go through them and play word games. For example, adding a different suffix to the end or beginning to create duality in the phrase or highlight words within words to bring about additional meaning. I then create an oil painting in response to the word or phrase. As of 2021 Lexicon Series is over 80 paintings strong and continues to grow. When experiencing these paintings a story emerges of our collective vocabulary and human experience. I love hearing how each phrase is interpreted by the viewer, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and share your experience. In this inaugural collectors set I have selected 9 of the most popular paintings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! - Amber Lelli
