Andrea Lippett Artist

Painting

My figurative work is driven by a fascination with the personal spaces that living beings inhabit and the personalities that they project in private and public. It could be argued that the proliferation of social media has increased the tension between formal constraints and the potential for openness and  freedom for individual expression. Lippett explores that tension in portraiture, and is always tempted to celebrate the bubble of joy that is provoked by characters that sit outside convention.
