Profile

Lisa Traxler

Visual Arts

Lisa Traxler has a multi-disciplinary art practice combining painting and sculpture responding to landscape and architectural spaces

The exploration of 2d to 3d, one informing the other.

My sculpture & painting often recall schemes of earlier works giving rise to interpretation & further possibilities. This duality between wall & floor based works is an ongoing dialogue. The materials are carefully selected, often with an industrial bias. The paint is applied, a juxtaposition of shade & tone, creating surface rhythm activated once the shapes are slotted together, comparable to the cut & join of a fabric garment. The fragile world & our architectural imprint on it are the physical environment encouraging my palette & expression.

A former fashion editor & costume designer, the natural evolution of my thought process is evident in my artworks from spacial configuration to the intricacy of colour.
Recent Arts Council England Awards enabled exhibitions: 'Blast Wall', The Foundry Gallery, Chelsea, 2021 and 'Dazzle+Disrupt', Quay Arts, IW, 2021, empowering new work & a fuller analysis of my slotted sculptures.‘Time Traveller’ solo exhibition created investigation of space & form at Southampton City Art Gallery, 2022.

Elected: The London Group, 2022. Royal Society of Sculptors,2017.  The Royal Watercolour Society, 2015
