ANGELA LIZON  HANGS ABOVE TRACY EMIN AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY SUMMER EXHIBITION 2010

The Modern Artists Gallery is delighted to announce Angela Lizon has been selected for the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London.     Angela Lizon's Cowboy Joe from Mexico placed provocatively next to a Tracy Emin, has proved to be one of the hits of this year's show. Sold at the opening, the image is  now being reproduced as an RA postcard and features in the Royal Academy Snapshot Guide  among other illustrious paintings by David Hockney, Georg Baselitz and Yinka Shinibare.

Education


BA Fine Art  Bristol Polytechnic
Gaining a scholarship  funded by the Polish government and the British Arts Council for post-graduate study at  Krakow Academy of Fine Art in Poland.

Work for television and film has included a portrait of Hitler for a short film, a portrait of Prince William for a programme to mark his 18th birthday, a drawing of Anne of Cleves in the style of Holbein and cave drawings of pop icons in the Redcliffe Caves in Bristol.

Colossal Cats Series 

Angela Lizon Colossal Cats  were initially painted as an escape route from her abstract work, which she decided had offered up all its possibilities  Since becoming interested in the conversion process that happens when turning a photo of a kitten, cynically produced to appeal to children, into a large-scale fine art painting - making a kitsch image desirable. 

"Having two daughters and being surrounded by all things pink, fluffy and kitsch for eleven years - it seems only natural that this has fed into my work.     The large scale of the paintings owes more to George Stubbs' study of a horse (Whistejacket) in the National Gallery, London, than to Jeff Koons or other post-modernists painters."    Angela Lizon  Modern Artists Gallery Berkshsire
