FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 5, 2011

On Thursday, August 18th, Lola Montes Schnabel will have her 2nd solo exhibition at the Tripoli Gallery with her recent Iodine Portraits.

The artist who graduated from Cooper Union will be showing her latest work, a series of portraits painted with shellac ink and iodine.

“When I'm drawing someone I'm not as interested in drawing there likeness as I am in recording the experience I’m having with them and making a physical body of that. I am using white Ink on white paper so the act of doing, is almost invisible. It is not until I pour iodine onto the paper the results appear.”

- Lola Montes Schnabel.

The show will open with a private reception for the artist on Thursday, August 18, 2011 and will be on exhibit until September 8. Opening reception for the artist, 5 - 8 pm.
