FROM DARK GROUND Gustav Corbourt would be proud; Lexi Strauss’s portraits are the pinnacle of incomparable contemporary realism. Fine Art graduate and Malvern-based Strauss pervades her subjects with ominous environments, producing disparities between infancy and brooding backgrounds. They are stunning. These works are from two different series’ titled Parenting (2011) and Short Journey (2010).
1) From Short Journey Series, 2010 2) From Parenting Series, 2011 3) From short journey series, 2010
