Lisa Hunt

Lisa Hunt’s Abstract Various Canvas I is an abstract screen printed work on canvas, painted with acrylic paint and hand applied 24K gold leaf. It is a graphic, gridded abstract pattern consisting of repeated squares in random repeat. The works on canvas in the series explore the re-use and reproduction of her archive of gold leaf sheets used in my previous works on paper. Working the abstracted shapes into repeat, the new series allows for a new expression of the materials and the print making process. Lisa hand applies the gold leaf to each print. Signed in verso. The use of gold and gold leaf in Lisa’s art comes from her desire to illuminate her patterns in a way that allows them to endure. Allusions to everything from Art Deco and folk art to typographic elements repurposed and reimagined and the natural world inform her. Through Lisa’s appreciation of indigenous textiles and the decorative arts she seeks to create a visual vocabulary.
