Lydia Mutone, based in Richmond, Virginia, received a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2021. Her paintings examine figures in intimate settings and the warping of memory through abstraction. Mutone digitally edits images, pushing compositions back and forth before translating the compiled imagery into oil paint. The resulting works play with legibility and obfuscation, presenting duplicates of a single subject that appear set in motion while occupying a stagnant space. Limbs alternately reveal and conceal, with figures stumbling over one another to suggest shifting time and a fleeting glimpse of a mystical moment.
