This month on 'A Geography of Colour' podcast I am talking with painter Elizabeth Rose Langford about her relationship with colour.

Elizabeth Rose Langford is a Contemporary British Painting currently living and working in Ibiza. She has a BA in English and Philosophy from Nottingham University and a BA Fine Art, City and Guilds of London School of Art.

Lizzy’s practice is site responsive; she works with stories and materials from the land, using them to make paintings and suggest another way of seeing and engaging with the natural world. Her motivations are to draw attention to the current global crisis, working with organic matter to discuss unrelenting growth in the name of “progress” and humanity’s consequential dissociation from nature.

Since 2013 Lizzy’s practise has centered around the inherent systems of natural materials. She spent four years after graduating learning traditional methods of extracting colour from plant and earth matter, which her current practise readdresses in an attempt to reveal something previously overlooked in the sole pursuit of pigment. She manifests these concerns with the action of painting, between the site of the pigments and the studio.

Lizzy won the Griffin Art Prize in 2013 working collaboratively with Luke Cranswick and undertook a residency with Winsor and Newton in 2014 precipitating rose madder. Since then she has had solo shows in London, Ibiza and New York, taken part in numerous group shows and undertaken various residencies in Europe, the US and the UK. She is currently working on ‘REDiscover a research project with NOVA University Lisbon and UCL London. Lizzy’s is representated by Katrina Phillips, London.
