Meet the Artist: An Evening with mosaicist Liz Tiranti

About

Liz Tiranti is an established contemporary fine artist working to celebrate and challenge the art of mosaic. Her decorative pieces and sculptures are striking and vibrant. She creates both large-scale sculptures as well colourful totems, mudlarked towers and fragments of stories.

There are few artists today making mosaic sculpture similar to Liz’s. Her unabashed use of colour and reflective materials plus the scale of her work set her apart in this very specialised field. Her new work of ‘stacks’ is challenging mosaic traditions in a way that has not been done before.

For her smaller pieces, Liz uses mudlarked finds from London’s River Thames to create her innovative aesthetic. She takes fragments of glass, ceramic and marble with their own story to tell and reappropriates them as ‘tesserae’ or mosaicist tiles.

This fascinating evening will appeal if you:
