A conversation with Lorenna Lannes, a Brazilian figurative artist practicing in New York, New York. Lannes’ work focuses primarily on capturing and exploring the impression of covert signals of emotion and intention - the “energy” a person emits beneath verbal and physical language. To paraphrase Lannes’ description - these sub-physical signals are the most honest, and learning to interpret them can be of great utility - no more so than keeping yourself safe.
