AL LACHMAN | HARMONY 

Life is a tapestry of experiences and emotions. It is a journey we are all on. And while our experiences may vary, it is sure to encompass a full range of human emotions. My Mom said I popped out with a brush in my hand. There were only a few things I could do well, and drawing was one of them. So I set out to become an artist. It ran the gamut of human experiences and emotions, from eating peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner early in my career, to working all my adult life from nine to nine, seven days a week. I am driven…I paint every day that I am home.

One could ask why?  What drives me at that unrelenting pace?

And the answer is two reasons: The first is that I LOVE IT!  Painting incurs all aspects of human emotions, from chaos and frustration to a soul-filling love of what I have accomplished. The second is that I am very fortunate in that I continue to sell my paintings. 

Our upcoming 67th Annual Exhibition ‘Harmony’ reflects on this emotion as it relates to society, and of course, me as well. We all seek harmony in our lives, even if it is fleeting, and we keep seeking it because it fills our soul.  In Art, it is an eternity.  For an artist to accomplish this, it would surely be a high moment in their lives.

And this is my goal as an artist…to create a harmonious moment in my painting, each and every time.

My goal in life, and as an artist ...

My goal in life, and as an artist, has been to create something that would enhance the lives of others. Something that would give them joy and pride of ownership. And by doing this, my own life's journey would be fulfilled. What goes around, comes around. I paint every day in this pursuit, not because I have to, but because I want to...I love what I do, and it completes me in the realization that my paintings bring joy to others.

While Lachman Gallery was temporarily closed for several months as much of the world was, it actually became a positive in the sense that I have been able to create an entire new body of work in my studio. But now it feels good to be back in the gallery... talking to people, feeling their renewed energy and thereby stimulating my own.

And with most of us spending more time at home, we are seeing a pent up demand in wanting a fresh new look with new artwork that makes us feel good and happy. We are here for you! Whether it's one painting or a house full, we can help you. We can come to your home with paintings that you have selected from our gallery. We are open 7 days now and by private appointment.

So...what inspires YOU?
