This Is Not The Party I Wanted (Two)

Liz Tran has developed a singular visual language based upon diverse influences, including mycology, dream imagery, imagined landscapes, geodes, outer space and The Big Bang. Composed of ink, acrylic, graphite, Japanese paper, and beeswax, the kaleidoscopic compositions seem to pulsate and vibrate across the canvas, creating a vivacious, active surface. In an attempt to counteract the darkness in the world with optimism and joy, Tran’s phantasmagoric visual style incorporates components from 1960’s Psychedelic Art and Pop Art.

Liz Tran is a graduate in Print Art and Painting from Cornish College of the Arts and exhibits both nationally and internationally. Public collections of Tran's work include the Seattle's Portable Works Collection, The El Paso Children's Hospital and The Child Center. She has been awarded multiple fellowships and grants; including the Clowes Fellowship for residency at the Vermont Studio Center, the Nellie Cornish Scholarship and residency at CAMAC, Jentel, Millay Colony for the Arts, and The Center for Contemporary Printmaking. Tran resides in Seattle, WA.
