Artist: Lawrence Jolly

In a style he calls Contemporary Narrative Realism—think Dali Meets Rockwell—Jolly’s work features evocative figurative, animal, landscape and other natural subject matter in oil on canvas and 3D mixed media pieces. Blending highly rendered representational content with elements of stylistic abstraction, symbolism and surrealism, Jolly’s art tells stories about the human condition and its relationship with both creator and creation.
