BIO
Lizzie Beere is a contemporary New Zealand artist whose work sits between abstraction and figuration, creating a distinctive visual language that is both expressive and evocative. Best known for her large-scale abstract botanical paintings and hand-built ceramics, she reimagines the traditional still life through loose forms, layered compositions, and intuitive mark-making.
Drawing inspiration from nature, her artworks feature ghost-like vessels, vases and botanical references that emerge from richly textured abstract backgrounds. Balancing the recognisable with the obscure, Lizzie's contemporary paintings and ceramics invite viewers to explore the space between representation and imagination. Her sophisticated use of colour, form and composition creates artworks that feel both familiar and unexpected, making them highly sought after by collectors of contemporary New Zealand art.
"Erupted florals", she says, "and the beauty in their transition and final decay."
