About the artist
Lisa Milroy, an alumna of St Martin’s School of Art, London (1977-1979), and Goldsmiths College of Art, London (1979-1982), focused on painting commonplace and household items post-graduation. Her work typically featured these items arranged in orderly rows or designs against stark backgrounds, emphasizing their generic qualities over their individual characteristics in a neutral setting.
Milroy's artwork has a unique way of breathing life into lifeless objects. This not only amplifies their presence in the painting but also accentuates the brush strokes themselves.
