Collections in the V&A and Natural History Museum, London.

Lisa Milroy

                                     

Lisa Milroy is mostly known for painting everyday objects in the form of collections. She paints shoes, clothes and light bulbs in lines or grids.

I have taken photographs at the V&A and Natural history museums (London&Oxford), of objects very similar to those that Milroy studies. (such as insects, fragments of pottery and artefacts). And therefore I may create my own paintings from my photographs, in her style..

I like that she doesn't seem to fussy about what type of things she paints, it seems like she just has to paint everything she finds- after she's sorted them and put them in order.

She collects so many mundane objects, and lines them up in grids, that her behaviour/ art work could be considered obsessive.
