Lisa V Robinson is an emerging contemporary painter, currently based in Westgate Studios,
Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
In 2008 she graduated from Manchester School of Art gaining first class honours in Fine Art
Painting. Since graduating, Lisa has been awarded the 2009 Joan Day painting bursary, which will
allow her to create her first solo exhibition at the South Square gallery in Bradford.
Lisa describes her paintings as
"hovering between abstraction and figuration" and that they are
"an exploration of the physicality of paint and the possibilities of what can be achieved with
space and colour". She often begins a painting by pouring and splashing paint onto a blank
canvas, allowing the resulting forms to provide inspiration to place further elements ontop of the
resulting painterly surface. Due to this process, no end result can be preconceived, which she
finds an exciting challenge.
