"Lizzie Gill is a mixed media artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Her work explores themes of retro Americana in a contemporary context. Through a variety of mediums she illustrates a time warp, composed of everyday life, human agency and the disingenuous. The disingenuous nature of her work pertains to one’s ability to mislead through dress, speech or manner. Growing up in the digital age, this deception is often conducted behind a series of computer screens. Her work is a nostalgic look at both the American past and innocence with a twist, prompting one to question their sense of time and culture. Not everything is ever quite as it seems. Lizzie is the co-founder of the Brooklyn Collage Collective. The Collectives goal is to bring attention to the medium of collage through an ever growing and dynamic group of artists who display a wide range of materials and styles."
I love Lizzie Gill's work. I came across her on Instagram whilst looking at collage artists and became fascinated by her pieces! I love how she uses a mixture of collage imagery with analog drawings and cut out shapes. This mixed media combination creates a fabulous 'crash' of elements onto one piece of paper - something I find really interesting. I love the colours she uses and would love to use similar schemes within my own work. I also like the idea of working with mixed media and moving away from entirely digital graphic design!
