“Gentle Weather,’’ painting by Laura Fayer, in her show of recent work, at Lanoue Gallery, Boston, through April 25.

She says:

“I make large-scale abstract paintings. Combining traditional painting techniques with an experimental relief printmaking process, I build layered paintings on canvas using acrylic and hand-printed Japanese paper collage elements, where fields of color meet gestural, woodblock-inspired marks.

“My work is shaped by formative years in Japan, particularly the wabi-sabi principle that honors imperfection and impermanence. I'm interested in compositional elements caught on the cusp of coalescing, where the eye moves between atmosphere and form, clarity and ambiguity, leaving room for possibility.”
