Stations of the Cross

"Lawrence has recently evolved to some important and significant changes in his work. The newest paintings are leaner; less concerned with narrative and more pointedly aimed at allegory.The recent series, Stations of the Cross, with all the religious connotations their title carries, nonetheless neatly sidestep becoming too narrative or ‘cinematic’ by the expedient of omitting the human figure altogether. Only the stormy skies and the perspectives of the cross change from panel to panel, suggesting the passage of time around the event, rather than the sequence of events itself"

Michael Welzenbach, art critic of the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times (from a 199 4 article)
