Collection: Liza Mackintosh at The Curlew

8 January - 4 May 2022, The Curlew, Bodiam

Liza’s artist practice consists of creating uplifting and calming abstract paintings inspired by the landscape around her; the sky, weather and evolving seasons.

“The colours I work with, the marks I make, and the feel of the painting all derive from my direct experience from walking in the landscape and the memories that I have from it.

The paintings are created by many thoughtful layers, building up on the canvas, wood, or paper in an intuitive and organic way much like the landscape they refer to. I work in oil and acrylic but lean towards oil for the richness and versatility that this wonderful medium offers.

I hope my paintings can transport the viewer to the hinted places that inspired them and evoke their own personal experience from looking at the paintings through the expression of my own.”

Alongside the landscape her muse is the act of painting itself, how gesture and mark making; the process of painting itself can express memories and thoughts that evoke the feel of a landscape.
