WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH ELIZABETH JANE? : LIZ NEAL

11 Nov-2 Dec 2010

Sartorial Contemporary Art
London WC1H 8AP

Overview

The title of Liz Neal's latest Sartorial Contemporary Art installation is characteristically charged with self-derision. The show centres on a chandelier crafted from empty vodka bottles, and a plethora of booze-soaked mementos. Masterfully mutilated beer can flower arrangements. Hand-embroidered pill packaging, pizza boxes, hallmarks of a lifestyle unraveling, celebrated and sanctified. Famed for bringing us spaces filled with lusty flesh, cabinets of carnal curiousity, Neal’s “sexually charged examination of consumerism, the cult of lifestyle and desire” has been exhibited as far afield as Moscow’s M'ars Gallery, and (through her close connection to Sartorial Director, Greta Sarfaty Marchant) Galeria Thomas Cohn, in Rio De Janiero.
