Artist spotlight on: Liz West – Wed 1 Oct 2025

Artist spotlight on: Liz West

Date: Wednesday 1 October 2025, 2:00 pm-2:30 pm
Venue: York Art Gallery

Liz West will speak about how she creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour. West’s investigation into the relationship between colour and light is often realised through an engagement between materiality and a given site. Our understanding of colour can only be realised through the presence of light. By playing and adjusting colour, West brings out the intensity and composition of her spatial arrangements.
Liz West (b.1985) is a British artist known for her wide-ranging works, from the intimate to the monumental. Using a variety of materials and exploring the use of light, she blurs the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, design and painting to create works that are both playful and immersive. West has been commissioned worldwide by institutions and organisations including Natural History Museum, London Design Festival, Paris Fashion Week, Milan Design Week, National Trust, National Science and Media Museum, Dubai Design Week, Natural England, Salford University, Fortnum & Mason for London Design Festival and Bristol Biennial. West’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Mercer Art Gallery Harrogate, Farol Santander São Paulo, Jodhpur Art Week India, Hyvinkää Art Museum Finland, St Albans Museum + Gallery, Chester Cathedral, Bangalore International Centre India and Musée Nissim de Camondo Paris; and group exhibitions at Trapholt Denmark, Kraftwerk Berlin, Tripostal Lille and Compton Verney UK.
Included in General Admission.
