Lisa Milroy

Travel Paintings

This survey exhibition of the work of artist Lisa Milroy, who is best known for her paintings depicting multiple objects – lightbulbs, plates, shirts floating against a neutral background. The series of small paintings made in Tokyo in 1993, marks a departure from her earlier work by using her own photographs as a starting point to develop a more intimate relationship with her subject. The Travel Paintings also on display attempts to capture the experience, often a fleeting moment of being in the city or landscape, whether on the vast open plains of Colorado or in the confines of a courtyard in Rome. In Milroy’s paintings of London, the architecture seems familiar, whilst the deserted streets and office buildings acquire a strange presence, as if seen for the very first time. This exhibition forms part of the cultural celebrations of the International Women’s Festival in Birmingham.
