Double Luck, oil on tempered glass by Lisa Lala

Birds on a Wire, a new series by textural artist Lisa Lala, will be revealed at a reception from 6-8 p.m. July 29 at Tobi Fairley Gallery, 5507 Ranch Drive, Little Rock.

Lala's expressive oil paintings, including her Hill, Ferris Wheel and List series, feature doodle-like drawings and stream-of-consciousness thoughts etched into thick paint with a carpenter’s pencil. Along with traditional canvas, she uses the centuries-old technique of painting on glass, giving a sense of luminosity and lightness to her work.

The artist will be in attendance for a public wine and cheese reception and show from 6-8 p.m. July 29 at Tobi Fairley Gallery, 5507 Ranch Drive, Little Rock.
