THE EXHIBITION
Elizabeth was profoundly affected and inspired by a trip to Kenya, which pushed her to re-examine the process and technical methodology of her previous creative output when she returned to her Bangkok studio. The result has been a remarkable transformation and a new level of maturity for the artist. Employing a more muted and restrained palette, Elizabeth's subjects, whether human or animal, share the same emotional earnestness. Gone are the elaborately staged narratives of earlier artworks, instead her focus is tuned upon the power of the individual. With Africa considered the cradle of civilisation, Elizabeth treats her characters with humility, exacting an archaic sense of their proud lineage.
