Bare Consciousness

The Bare Consciousness series provides unique snapshots of a non-verbal and neurodiverse artist’s abstract expressionist reactions to her every day, existential experiences. The paintings document the silent and persistent dialogue between Lobert’s internal soul and the external stimuli of her physical and emotional environments resulting in a raw and unfiltered glimpse at consciousness lain completely bare. An outsider to societal imprints and to the ability to devise, strategize, or premeditate, her art arrives from a pure and unadulterated space of the absolute present, offering a window into a human consciousness physiologically free from what is considered normative. Challenging us to empathize with our own “bare consciousness” or inherent “true self,” untouched by individual history, social, or cultural upbringing, Lobert highlights who we may truly be without the conditioning we continuously undergo.
