Get with the Program 2017
at Roman Fine Art in East Hampton, New York, USA
11 November 2017-28 January 2018

Collage artist Lizzie Gill, member of the Brooklyn Collage Collective, is part of Roman Fine Art’s annual holiday group show, “Get with the Program 2017”, which features works by 9 artists in painting, photography and mixed media work. Other artists in the show include Maya Hauyk, Electra KB, Reisha Perlmutter, Leah Schrager, Sarah Slappey, SWOON, Christina Creutz, and Ciara Rafferty.

Lizzie Gill is a mixed media artist whose work explores themes of retro Americana in a contemporary context. Through a variety of mediums she illustrates a time warp, composed of everyday life, human agency and “post feminist” contemporary society. Conceptually, she explores how the modern approach to romance has evolved along with technology into the form of online courtship.

She finds inspiration in the idle pursuits of romantic digital interactions such as texting and dating apps when juxtaposed with images of marriage and love from 1950’s advertising and publications.

Her work is a nostalgic look at both the American past and innocence with a twist, prompting one to question their sense of time and culture. Gill has participated in a number of group shows in and around New York City as well as abroad. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
