"Lisa Milroy"

Tate Liverpool launches its 2001 programme with a major exhibition of the work of Lisa
Milroy. This is the most comprehensive exhibition of Milroy's work to date, and brings
together a selected group of paintings from the past two decades, including a significant
body of new work. Since her paintings from the 1980s depicting collections of objects,
Milroy has pursued many different approaches. For this exhibition the paintings will be
presented in groups, rather than chronologically, to give an overview of the diversity within
Milroy's practice.
The imagery of Milroy's paintings explores objects, space and their relationship to one
another. Her observation of familiar and quite ordinary things, often devoid of any specific
context, is characterised by its intensity and clarity. The paintings provide information
about a range of different kinds of systems - pattern, repetition, rhythm and order, which
give form to more abstract relationships of absence and presence.
