Hello,
I would like to start by thanking everyone for their support towards my first major solo exhibition Chroma,
which took place at BLANKSPACE in Manchester over the month of July. An
overwhelming number of people attended the exhibition and related
events including the preview and artist talk. If you missed it, images
of the work can be seen on my website over the next few weeks. Alternatively you can take a look on my Flickr page.
I
was so glad to be given the opportunity to make three new ambitious
site-specific works within the gallery. Thanks to Mark Devereux for
curating the exhibition, Arts Council England and all those that
supported my crowd funding project.
There are only a few limited edition Chroma exhibition catalogues left which can be purchased for £10 through my website or by clicking HERE.
Below is a quick update of various exhibitions and events that I am involved with in next few months. Exciting times ahead!
Cheers,
Liz

I am very excited to tell you that my entire series of six Trolley photographs will feature in The Independent on Sunday Magazine this week (26 August). Holly Williams’ article Young, Gifted and British offers a sneak preview of some of the best home-grown talent taking part in World Event Young Artists next month in Nottingham.
Williams
writes, “…More cheerful are Liz West’s images. A tutor at Glasgow
School of Art once told her that every photographic slide should look
“like a jewel” – and hers certainly shine brightly. This is serious
colour-blocking: the 27-year-old contrasts different masses of uniformly
hued objects in a supermarket to make an aesthetic experience out of a
consumerist chore.”
Exhibition
World Event Young Artists
Exhibition runs from 7th - 15th September
I shall be participating in World Event Young Artists 2012 taking place across venues in Nottingham. My work will be exhibited in Nottingham Trent University’s Bonington Gallery.
World
Event Young Artists is the very first event of its kind to take place.
It is an exciting occasion bringing together and celebrating the talent
and artistic excellence of young people from across the globe. In
September 2012 World Event for Young Artists will bring a staggering
1,000 young artists (18 – 30 years) from 120 nations to Nottingham. Over
a period of 10 days, artists will bring the city to life with creative
activity across all art forms including visual arts, music and
gastronomy. These artists will have the chance to showcase their
practice, exchange ideas and build future collaborations.

Beyond the Material World
Exhibition runs from 20th October – 3rd November
The IAQA is a contemporary art collective exploring
the idea of artistic visions which intuitively reach beyond this
three-dimensional, material world to explore alternative possible
realities through taking a positive approach. This collective are
pleased to announce their first exhibition at Bar Lane Gallery in York.
The show will explore the statement Beyond the Material World and aims to be inspirational and encouraging others to reach out towards a more positive and sustainable future.
Works featured will
move away from dominating fixed theories and measures of conventional
science. We are taking the view that art can be viewed as a platform for
multiple expressions of social ideals; where art and science co-exist
harmoniously. The exhibition strives to have a holistic and egalitarian
approach which asks all who participate how we can construct a new
outcome or world view together. The works considered provide positive,
awe inspiring futures rather than promoting any apocalyptical visions.
