Abstract
These paintings are recent compositions based of family gatherings, where some of them work with pencils, or move around a round kitchen table. Here, where architecture is a constant, sunlight is a variable. Shards of light are fickle visitors: they arrive unexpectedly, moving across bodies and the sturdy planes of a built environment. Bright spots might settle as simple geometry or as swarming flecks. For Lichtman, they make the familiar feel new.
