The Art of Elizabeth McGrath
Influenced by a Roman Catholic upbringing, punk rock, Erte, and Edward Gorey, Hollywood native Elizabeth McGrath is one of her generation’s more unique and prolific artists. She creates in a number of mediums and materials with undeniable artistry and imagination. Her paintings are haunted whispers of color, depicting subtly dangerous creatures that creep towards the edge of the canvas. Her stitched and bandaged dolls and toys are a united army of soft strangeness and her mixed media dioramas are isolated freak shows displaying rotting subhuman figures luxuriously dressed for your pleasure of contempt.
