Lisa Chandler

My art practice involves global wandering to experience places and spaces, punctuated by intense months of studio-based work.

I am fascinated with changing places and spaces in global cities. My paintings investigate the tensions between place and non-place. Urban structures and people intertwine through a process of layering, obliterating and tracing.

I have a Master of Fine Arts (Hons) from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design, Auckland and I presented my thesis paper ‘Negotiating the Non-Place’ at the Affective Landscapes Conference at the University of Derby, England in 2012. 

In that same year I completed an art project at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. In 2013 I undertook a residency in Singapore and in 2014, I spent two months on the Red Gate Residency in Beijing. In 2016 I undetook a four month residency in Leipzig, Germany.

I live and work in Nelson, New Zealand and Leipzig, Germany.
