Pink Flower Studies I

In this body of work, Lisa Hardy explores softness as both a visual language and a human condition. Loosely informed by floral forms and the atmosphere of the garden, her paintings resist fixed representation, instead unfolding as quiet fields of color and gesture. Blush, pink, nude, and muted greens drift across the surface, encouraging a slower, more contemplative way of looking.

For Hardy, softness embodies a quiet strength—one rooted in transparency, vulnerability, and restraint. Through pared-back marks and subtle tonal shifts, her compositions maintain an understated elegance, where forms hover between emergence and dissolution, and beauty remains intimate, elusive, and deeply felt.
