Lisa DeLoria Weinblatt: School Lunch 18

Lisa DeLoria Weinblatt: School Lunch 18

SKU: 2021-00067.

This painting is in a series of visual essays/narratives of actual events in the lives of womyn gender identifying students. Each person in my paintings is a real individual. My process involves drawing on-site in educational settings.

I am a figurative painter whose imagery is informed through personal experience, imagination and direct observation. The paintings comprising the SCHOOL LUNCH series, present images concerning the nature of relationships. My goal is to create humanistic awareness in a framework which is universally recognized.

The SCHOOL LUNCH series is a pictorial essay of contemporary student life, in real educational settings. Contemporary cross-cultural issues and their emotional attitudes are explored in the shared experience of school lunch. SCHOOL LUNCH was generated from direct observation, drawing on location, afternoons in the lunchrooms of NYC High Schools. SCHOOL LUNCH has expanded to include university and college campuses.

SCHOOL LUNCH has been exhibited at universities and museums throughout the New York metropolitan area; as well as, with the Woodstock Museum, NY, The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH, The Dishman Museum, Lamar University, TX, and the Provincetown Art Museum in New England.

Dennis Wepman, Curator of the Karpeles Museum, Newburgh, NY states ‘Weinblatt incorporates a dynamic narrative in her paintings, implicit of the energy and tension of personal interactions’’

As part of the college exhibitions, I am often invited on campus as a ‘resident/visiting artist’. This engaging opportunity allows me access to a wide scope of activities to record. Visually recording campus activities (i.e., La Guardia Community College’s ‘Salsa/ Jazz’ Festival), creating drawings at the event, including the interaction of students and musicians. As a visiting artist, I offer presentations, workshops, discussions, and critiques, to engage the students in the ‘curriculum beneath the curriculum’ experience.

SCHOOL LUNCH underlines perceptions which affirm cultural identity, brings together ideas espousing contemporary concerns and encourages a belief in the quality of human spirit. My objectives include continuing to forge a bridge connecting a multi-cultural society; ( as Queens County is reported by the New York Times, to be the most ethnically diverse county in the USA ), with achievement; through cooperation and tolerance provided by a positive visual model.
