Lisa Milroy Improvisations

6 Jun-31 Aug 2011

Royal West Of England Academy
Bristol BS8 1PX

Overview

Milroy made her first paintings of Japanese prints in 1986 and throughout her career, Milroy’s experience of Japan has acted as a constant source of inspiration. For her exhibition Improvisations she brings together two groups of paintings that pay homage to Ukiyo-e woodblock prints - transcriptions of Ukiyo-e prints and, stemming from these transcriptions, the Geisha series.
