ARTIST OF THE DAY! Artist and printmaker Lizy FeelFree Bending displaying her latest work at RAW London CURRENT @93FeetEast on 13.11.14 Lizy’s theory is based in the realm of the political; to her artworks have an incredible autonomy and thus, the power to educate. Through her work she wants to make issues surrounding politics, society, culture and the economy accessible to all. Through visual imagery she plan to break down the boundaries that many feel exist, isolating them from interacting with these subjects. Combing print media with the construction of objects, her practice aims to provoke discussion, using emotive aesthetics that transform socio-political concepts into visually stimulating bodies of work. Through establishing a revival of woodcutting; a common-place practice amongst ‘revolutionary’ artists of the past. She is embracing the heritage of political printmaking, woodblocks were initially developed due to their accessibility both as a resource and their communicative qualities, which contextually, she continually exploit throughout her practice. Nevertheless, communication in our contemporary society is driven by technology, therefore her latest works try to embrace this, creating culturally relative, digital prints that are then transformed into the physical through archival and museology interests. She have begun to parallel printmaking with object making, using the prints as coloured and textured drawings before entering them into tangibility, creating sculptural works that redefine the spatial potential of printmaking, to include sculpture, installation and participatory prints. Alongside this she experiment with creating external works outside of the studio setting, pushing her personal relationship with her practice and as she begin to interact with the public. rawartists.org/lizybending
