Lisa Milroy

Lisa Milroy first received attention during the 1980s for her paintings of familiar and quite ordinary objects, often devoid of any specific context, which explored issues of space, repetition, pattern, rhythm, and order. Since the early 1990s, Milroy's subject matter has expanded to include landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, people, and animals, revealing her continued interest in objects in relation to space. This book documents the breadth of Milroy's career, bringing together a range of her paintings from the past two decades and including a body of her new work. Beautifully illustrated, it is organized by subject rather than chronology, providing a visual catalogue which reveals recurrent themes and ideas.
