Carol Lyons

Trance of the Blessed Trees

Carol Lyons’s "Trance of the Blessed Trees" is an original sepia ink on paper, monotype, created by the artist in 1994. It, like her other extraordinary monotypes from this period, are fantasy landscapes, abstracted from natural forms to create a completely unique world. The techniques used by Carol Lyons in some ways mirror those of the great eighteenth century landscape artist, Alexander Cozens. Cozens utilized accidental blots to stimulate the imagination by suggesting landscape forms. ‘Accident’ thus provides the crucial starting point for artistic exploration. This monotype is drawn upon fine, 100% cotton 140 lb. arches paper with full margins and signed by the artist within the image to the left and also signed and titled on the verso. "Trance of the Blessed Trees" is a fine, original example of the contemporary landscape art by the American printmaker and watercolor artist, Carol Lyons.

	"Trance of the Blessed Trees" belongs to a 1994 series of monotypes Carol Lyons termed, "Visionary Landscapes". Each is a fascinating exploration of form and texture within nature. The abstracted effects of light are also prominent, particularly in the darkest sepia areas. Carol Lyons writes, "'Visionary Landscapes'" are one of a kind artworks. Sepia ink on paper. No pen, pencil, or brush is used. It's a method I devised, my take on 'decalcomania'. The name was coined by Oscar Dominguez around 1936 and Max Ernst also experimented with this method."
