Review

A love of painting is immediately revealed in the work of Liz Gribin. She is indeed a “painterly” painter. Within that, she creates a poetic atmosphere and a sensitive and refreshing rendering of the figure which is rare today. Elegant abstraction lends a sense of structure to the relationship of figure to background and gives solidity to these sometimes fragile “out of the air” images.

The manner is casual, the poses of her figures, their attitudes, are almost offhand. It is her skillful drawing that gives us the subject matter.

Abstraction can push a familiar scene to the limit of recognizability.

The figures are emotionally loaded. It's not, however, facial expressions that carry the emotion but their postures and placement in space.
