Artist Statement for Liz London

LIZ LONDON ARTIST STATEMENT
Liz London’s artwork explores the realms and depths of what she feels are her own inner transformation by identifying personal archetypes’, historical and mythological stories. Her original art pieces continue a stream of consciousness and creative enigma throughout all aspects of her life documented by using items that are identified by deep symbolism and layered abstractions.
Blending different levels paint with mixed media, her art work provides visual form in honoring what we often perceive as ordinary throughout our day to day lives transforming seemingly mundane human experiences into profound significance, such as coincidences becoming synchronicities and serendipitous opportunities to grow and learn.
What is hidden or partially revealed on her work is just as important aspect of her work as what is seen, much like the excavation of an ancient civilization that may provide a clue or a lost link reconnecting us to question our lives for meaning through spirit, God or faith or individual path.
As inspiration she often uses photography, found objects and paper from explorations
throughout her travels, dreams, vivid imaginings and inner journeys, capturing forgotten and abandoned landscapes, figurative poses, combined with symbolic representations from all over the world and across time.
Discarded personal detritus or found objects placed on surfaces evoke a sense of history meant to question or incite new ideas within the viewer that may alter one’s current stream of consciousness. In each painting or sculpture, what is left behind is a reoccurring theme or symbol in the work, something that is missing within, a clue a puzzle that beckons the viewer to be found. Fictional landscapes recall the passage of time and create a mysterious, surreal and emotional sense of place.
Ms London states that, “The art I create is not meant to be literally narrative but may be left open to individual's interpretation and hopefully self discovery and connect at some level or identify some of their personal symbols, memories or dreams.”
“I am learning that my art is a philosophical exploration and that art making involves a
mysterious process of self-discovery." says London. She considers herself an abstract
impressionist/expressionist artist, the painting being most importantly about composition, form, shape and color much like her predecessors during the Transcendental Painting Movement. (New Mexico 1938-1942)
"One of the primary purposes of the ego is to look for ways to create and simultaneously avoid discontent.” Liz London
