From the series View On Sunset
The View on Sunset series reflects Lisette Schumacher’s deep connection with mid-century modern architecture and the captivating sunsets of Los Angeles. Lisette’s interest lies in the idea that architecture engenders a basic physical experience prior to also initiating an intellectual interpretation. By observing the location intensely and moving through each room repeatedly, she can both experience the space in a physical way and interpret it intellectually. After studying the site's history and architect, a period of in-depth research into technique, material and colour schemes follows. This results in a series of works that reflect on the site's atmosphere, history and its design.

From the series Coachella views
Coachella Views IV is part of a series of paintings by Lisette Schumacher inspired by her travels through Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley in California. During visits to historic mid-century modern houses in the desert landscape, Schumacher became increasingly aware of the shifting colours and atmosphere created by the intense desert light.
The composition reflects these observations through layered colour fields in soft pink, peach, lavender and pale blue. Fluid gestures move across the surface like changing light conditions in the desert, where colours slowly transform throughout the day.
Rather than depicting a specific landscape, the painting translates the experience of desert light and atmosphere into a quiet abstract composition. Subtle transitions in colour create a sense of movement and openness, echoing the expansive character of the desert environment.
