Lisa Wilmot

Lisa Wilmot’s work investigates how contemporary abstract painting techniques can be used to evoke atmospheric light effects drawn from both natural and urban landscapes. Rather than aiming to depict a specific location or particular time of day, Wilmot blends memories, some clear and others vague, of fleeting moments of atmospheric light. 

By combining and adapting methods commonly linked to Hard Edge Painting and Colour Field Painting, Wilmot achieves a sense of light, atmospheric haze, spatial depth, and transition across a two-dimensional surface. By introducing a durational element to abstraction, these paintings become meditations on time: the time involved in their creation and the time required for viewers to observe and experience them.
