I want my paintings to inhabit a shadowland — part rural, part urban, part wasteland — where anomalies, chimeras and spectres wander between the feral and the tamed, the worshipped and the abandoned.Lisa Ivory
Lisa Ivory (b 1966) lives and works in London, UK. Ivory graduated from St Martins School of Art with a B.A. (Hons) in Fine Art (Painting) in 1988. Ivory explores the concept of otherness and its inherent duality of fear and attraction. She creates fantastic worlds of mythical creatures, referencing wild men, chimeras, hybrids, anomalies, spectres and other classical narrative archetypes.
She has recently shown with Yusto/Giner, Madrid, Veta, Madrid, Fabian Lang Gallery, Zurich, a solo show with Nino Mier Gallery Brussels, a solo show with CZA, Milan, a solo show with Charlie Smith London and a solo show with Pamela Salisbury, New York.
