Living Artists Contemporary Investment art Auction July 2024 Edition
Lot 117:
SHIPS FROM London, UK "Rabia" (Rage) is a very old illustration and one of my all-time favourites. I hesitated a lot before putting it up for sale… The illustration represents many things, which I cannot explain easily with words. It is a bit like dualities confronting each other when they really want to make peace with each other. It is about being angry but it is a healthy anger, that is born of Love. It is a very positive image, for me. The illustration is sold unframed, hence why no image of the back is added, since it’s just a blank paper. Lola is a multi-disciplinary artist creating across different media, including painting, sculpture and photography. Nature and the interconnectedness of everything in and with nature are her deepest inspiration and music is another major inspiration of hers. Her work simultaneously straddles nature, humanity, spirituality, magic, fantasy and what she refers to as "harsh realities" but because she is a firm believer in Dostoyevsky’s saying that "beauty will save the world, " she always aims to create a visually appealing final result. Her hope is that anyone who looks at her work will feel a rush of positive energy and an awakening of their sense of wonder. She does not seek to shock, she seeks to soothe.Lola was born in Beirut and is Franco-Lebanese. When she was three, war broke out in Lebanon and from then on her upbringing took place ping-ponging between Lebanon, Italy and France (Lyon), though mainly in Lebanon. She has been living in London since June 1990 and has also lived briefly in Chile and Argentina. She speaks fluent English, French, Spanish and Arabic and is currently learning Mandarin. Her cross-cultural upbringing, way of life and friends, have left her feeling universal, belonging to no place in particular and to all places at once.
