Lacey Stoffer’s Rave Paintings incorporate painting, drawing, collage, and embroidery in a harmonious interplay of disparate yet unified elements. Inspired by the emotional energy and intrinsic logic of electronic music, Lacey’s process is both intuitive and methodical, beginning with a set of aesthetic parameters that she applies to each body of work. This approach ensures that an intentional cohesion resonates across each individual painting, revealing an underlying formalism that counterbalances her work’s emotive effect, a visceral experience bordering on the cathartic.
