Liza Kelly | Flowers for a Host (Pink), 2023
Tetrapak - collagraph & drypoint
Media Dimensions: 21 x 29.5 cm
Image Dimensions: 11.5 x 16.5 cm
Edition of 4 (with unique variations)
Framed/unframed
Liza Kelly’s work explores the world around her through a mix of observation and imagination. Daily experiences and objects are starting points which develop through remembered and imagined details and scenarios. Images emerge with strange scale, playful perspectives and colour, and sometimes narratives drawn from imagination. The artist uses many approaches in her work: figuration, interior studies, still life, landscape and references from art history. Liza’s recent series of prints is inspired by flowers, both growing in the artist’s local environment and cut flowers, gifted or received to mark moments of joy, sadness, and remembrance. The artist works primarily with two printing techniques: Tetrapak (intaglio collagraph) prints and multi-layered drawn monotypes. Liza enjoys the experimental nature of these printing methods as they add an unexpectedness to the work, throwing up interesting textures and marks during the printmaking process. The use of Tetrapak plates allows for a more sustainable approach, using recycled materials and non-toxic production techniques. Liza graduated in 1996 from the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, with a BA in Fine Art Printmaking. During 2022 she completed the Online Drawing Development Year at the Royal Drawing School, London. She also holds an MA in Professional Design Practice from TU Dublin. Liza has exhibited extensively since 1996, most recently with Blue Shop Galleries (2024), Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair (2023) and the Royal Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition (2023). She is the recipient of a residency award given by the Royal Drawing School and the Agility Award 2024 given by the Arts Council of Ireland. Her work is held in private collections in Europe, the USA and China.
