Compare the five illustrations
Look at the contrasts, flats and repeated patterns to choose the level of difficulty that suits you. For a advertised limited offer, check the name of the visual and the box reference.
Five paintings, five atmospheres
Each puzzle is based on an original work by Lisa. This is not a mere illustration or picture of reworked banks. It’s real paintings, often done in 100 hours, that the artist turns into puzzles. The result: you slowly assemble pieces of your imagination, like you’d rebuild a dream.
Some paintings are soft and introspective, others flatter the eye with powerful contrasts, enigmatic characters, or symbolic elements to interpret. It is this ambivalence between licked aesthetics and hidden senses that gives experience its full flavor. You could sum up the spirit of these puzzles like this: it’s not just a finished image, it’s a world to explore.
Of the five models on offer, four are new, and one is a highly sought-after reprint by fans of the first edition. Visuals were not only chosen for their beauty, but also for the way they lend themselves to assembly: distinct colours, complex but not absurd areas, and captivating details.
A quality thought of by a puzzler
Lisa LaRose is not just signing the illustrations: she is also one of those who put the pieces in the evening, for the pleasure. That’s why she decided to set specific requirements for the manufacture of her puzzles.
The pieces are unique, with enough variation so that we do not fall into the trap of the parts The cardboard is thick enough to move whole sections without breaking down. Puzzles measure 50 x 70 cm when completed, making them beautiful, enjoyable to work with, and spectacular when framed.
And for those who like to put as much as play, the box has not been neglected: compact design, centralized visual, colors that slam… No need to hide it in the bottom of a closet. It is an object that can be exposed.
A craft project, not a factory
This project is not run by a distributor or managed by a publishing company. Lisa herself is coordinating all the logistics. It launches the printing in August, receives the stocks at home, and then prepares the packages for shipment in October. Lidia’s got the idea to send everything in time for Christmas, but as she says, she’s the only one who’s in charge.
This involves a fast-paced funding campaign: last chance to participate in the 16 July, withdrawal of funds July 18The first is the free collection of goods, which is available in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK, in the UK,
Note: shipping costs are not included in the initial contribution on Kickstarter. They will be calculated later, depending on the country of destination. Lisa has also published an estimated schedule of shipping rates, which remains transparent on costs.
A unique surreal pop aesthetic
If Lisa LaRose were to be placed in an artistic category, it would be somewhere between pop art, fantastic and psychedelic introspection. Her works are both colourful and melancholic, accessible and deep, decorative and symbolic.
It often deals with such topics as mental health, nature, grief, femininity, and the connection between body and mind. These are double-reading puzzles: they’re built visually, but also emotionally. We think of artists like Camilla d’Errico or Mab Graves, but Lisa keeps a tone of her own, softer, sometimes ironic, always sincere.
Behind each puzzle, there is a work that deserves to be looked at, interpreted, discussed. And it may be there that the puzzle makes sense: by forcing the observer to enter the work, piece by piece.
The Commission
Lisa LaRose does not make puzzles to occupy a rainy afternoon. She creates hybrid objects, between wall art and immersive leisure, between play and contemplation. This Kickstarter project is an opportunity to support a sincere approach, collect original pieces and, above all, to get out of the all-new.
Lovers of beautiful objects, enthusiasts of demanding puzzles, and curious about the independent art world have a campaign to be missed.
