Lobdell states, “My current work explores the influence of my identity as a primary element of my process. Eliminating the “I” was my highest order, stripping the work down to the most essential gestures created only through instinct and without intended reference to physical objects. The mastery of color and light outweighed expressing a narrative. I regarded the question of “what’s good” in a way that precluded acceptance of “what comes.”
Lobdell has shown and sold his work in New York City, California, Colorado, Florida, Connecticut and Massachusetts, as well as many exhibitions in upstate New York where he maintains his working studio. His paintings were described in a recent article in Saratoga Living magazine as “...nothing short of hypnotic, subtly seducing the viewer’s gaze into a tidal pool of abstract motions, textures and surprising colors.” -Jeff Dingler
