Arbon Lane is quickly becoming one of the most sought after "Outsider" artists in America. He died in October, 2005.
Most of his paintings were created using house paint on pieces of wood or roofing tin, materials that were readily available and free or inexpensive. He would retreat to a small studio in his house, where he found peace by painting.
During this time, his work was discovered by a few local folk art dealers, including the great Benny Carter of Mayodan, N.C., and Bill Jones of Roanoke, Va. Jones became Lane’s primary representative, buying most of his output for resale to collectors and a handful of other dealers. Most of Lane’s art depicts his memories. There are scenes of farming, rural family life, musicians and sports, as well as Biblical stories. Some illustrate the discrimination he experienced as a black man, and others depict the imagined lives of his ancestors as slaves. As time progressed, so did his style and techniques.
Many of Lane’s paintings show perspective and use light creatively to highlight important elements. Some of Lane’s paintings feature what he called his “elastic people.” These are people with unusually long arms or legs, which emphasize the action or emotion of the scene. Although the scenes depict a hard life, they show the joy in simple things and the important role of community and family.
Jones said that Lane would occasionally borrow books from the local library and read about the great masters of art. His favorite painter was El Greco. At one time, a local collector offered to pay for Lane to take art classes at a community college. At the first class, the professor asked the students to bring some samples of their work. After seeing Lane’s paintings, the professor told Lane to go home and continue painting in his own style.
His figures step off the canvas, allowing anyone viewing his work to become part of the scene. His uncanny use of lines and perspective always draws the viewer into the scene.
