Artist Profile - Lisa Who

Lisa is the co-director and curator of Curve Gallery in Liverpool: an independent international gallery concept.

Painter and printmaker, Lisa creates bold black and white images through the repetition and layering of the body's pieces, forming complex silhouettes of the archetypal female.

Fragmented figures and recognisable patterns from architectural and urban details are repeated, assembled and layered using both relief and intaglio print.

Her methods also include rubbings from prepared plates and objects, paper cut-outs, photography, direct drawing and painting.

Lisa's current series of work observes the floor plan view of hotel rooms, churches, museums and galleries in her recent visit to Spain, exploring both modern and ancient design footprints.
