Elizabeth Palmer Leicestershire, United Kingdom
I am a British multi media artist, with ongoing studies in contemporary art. I enjoy painting, collage, ink, acrylics, water-based oils, sculpture, installation formats and many more.
My main inspirations comes from nature and the genre of dystopia. My practice features lots of flowers and plants mixed with human features like eyes, ears and entire faces. As much as I enjoy making what can be considered ‘traditionally’ aesthetic pieces, I do also explore more abject and dark visual elements. I have been inspired by artists such as Francis Bacon, Joel-Peter Witkin and other artists that feature gore and horror elements in their work. I am also largely inspired by the genre of dystopia and how it is present in modern life and in creative outputs, both historically and contemporarily. This genre has always been an innate interest of mine, but only recently has it become something I look to display through my artwork.
