SOMETIME a flower is just a flower:

‘SOMETIME a flower is just a flower’ – an exhibit of oil paintings portraying life's cycles using flowers as visual metaphors. The collection focuses on depicting the facets of human relationships and emotions as individual paintings reflect in one or two larger-than-life flowers. The exhibit counterpoises attraction and separation, taking the viewer from joy to loss to a new beginning.

Liron’s Works:

Having no faces of their own, flowers in Liron's work represent images that viewers of diverse backgrounds can identify with. Overcoming superficial dissimilarities, they serve as portraits of universal appeal. By portraying emotions using faceless metaphors Liron invites viewers to be active observers.

Liron's work is focused on the individual or the relationship between two individuals. The artist uses flowers to portray themes such as aspiration, yearning, and passion. At times she celebrates individualism by emphasizing the one within the many.

"Every painting is a self portrait. I do not paint flowers. I use form, color, and texture to convey emotions. I use flowers as visual metaphors conveying many themes. The fragility of flowers, coupled with their ephemeral beauty, intriguing delicacy, and striking color, attract sensitivity and amplify the drama. The fleeting existence of flowers triggers urgency.

I admire the intensity of emotions found in the works of the Expressionist artists. Like them, I too mix my soul with my paints. However, I strive to be subtle in my expression of the intense. "

"The plants [in Liron's work] become anthropomorphic lovers"
Joseph Jacobs, Curator of American Art at the Newark Museum
