Astrid Verreycken [6] in 254Forest: [7] "Clara-Lane Lens paints using a classic imagery. Her works veers between the directness of a quick snapshot and an extensive study of the human body. All figures share something similar, beautiful but introvert. They are inward-looking, lost in thought. But there is also a kind of physical absence. She deliberately omits the characteristics that could reveal a character's gender. Spectators are regularly misled, yet precisely that's the attraction in her work. As you are left with the sense that something has eluded you."

Clara-Lane Lens currently lives and works at her atelier in Berlin (DE). [8]
