ALCHEMY

Review from the "Alchemy" series: Lemberg's multi-layered and highly textured paintings are alive with organic, rich surfaces that combine to create works glowing with an ancient spirit. 'The interaction between nature and some of our most magnificent creations results in beautiful hues and light that reflects a depth of spirit. The centuries of human touch have worn away the painted surfaces. The historical and spiritual connection reflected in these ornamented and peeling surfaces has always captivated me. The stories that they evoke fascinate me. Beauty for me is found in the crevices and wrinkles, the patina of experience. The marks, textures, scars in an aged surface are all evidence, a link to the journey taken'."
