Angela Lizon: Bird Watching

- Angela Lizon
New work by Spike Island-based painter Angela Lizon.
“This body of work is an assemblage of paintings made from a collection of discarded old photos and slides, from anonymous sources, of unknown subjects.
“The shots are flawed – badly taken or positioned, worn, or with distorted colours and
bleached faces.
“The collection of photos are categorised – visually linking images, themes and ideas. There is pictorial repetition of subject matter, often of imagery that does no justice to the original – big waves, flowers, small birds, a magnificent sunset. The repetition
echoes the mass of visual material that surrounds us.
“The images connect us to a universal collective memory and experience. Painting them immortalises the fleeting moment, rendering the subjects universal and eternal – an unforeseen result from the original throwaway snap.”
