The paintings in Lisa Edelstein’s debut exhibition, are inspired by old photos that Edelstein found of her family and relatives (and the occasional Poodle). They are candid shots – fugitive moments — often the mistaken shots that occurred in the days when there was no “delete” button on the camera. Her works are not photorealistic but does render by some strange alchemy the decaying colors and qualities of the old photos, as well as the feel of familial reminiscence, of time past.

Kids can compare their class photos to a painting of Edelstein’s 2nd grade class in 1973.
