 Lisa Pettersson
Jag växte upp i södra Dalsland men flyttade efter gymnasiet 1995 till London där jag borjade att studera konst på Chelsea College of Art. Sedan dess har jag bott i Wales, Skottland och Asien, men befinner mig numera åter i Edinburgh, Skottland.
Mitt måleri behandlar oftast familjära hemmiljöer och situationer. De gemensamma, ofläckade minnen vi har från barndomen, samt de rum, föremål och mönster vi är väl förtrogna med. Bilderna reflekterar över vårt behov av att skapa ett ombonat hem och ett förskönat förflutet.
Stilen ar förenklad: popkonst-liknande symbolik, humor och glättiga färger, men ofta med en underliggande melankoli.
ENGLISH:
I grew up in Sweden but have since 1995 spent most of my time living, studying and working in the UK. I am currently living in Edinburgh where I work as an artist, designer and youth worker. I exhibit regularly around the country and beyond. Much of my work consider the environment I live in, from reflecting on my new surroundings, culture and domestic spaces when moving to the UK, to more recent exploration of ideas of belonging, migration, roots and home. The intimately familiar interests me, the symbolism of patterns and decorations, objects and rituals, but also what happens when this is taken out of context or is disrupted. Despite the sometimes screen print-like style, I paint and draw traditionally, in acrylics and oil, pen and pencil, sometimes using stencils to create patterns.Utbildning
