SESSION 5 - July 27–August 2

Lisa Williamson creates works that are visually precise, physically resonant, and highly attuned to the spaces in which they are exhibited. Regarding precision as an expressive gesture and calibration as a mode of production, the artist’s expansive approach to color and meticulous attention to surface softens the line between abstraction and figuration, painting and sculpture, language and object. Born in 1977, Williamson lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She graduated with a MFA from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles (2008) and received her BFA from Arizona State University, Tempe (1999). Her most recent solo exhibitions include Hover Land Lover at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, LA (2024) and A Landscape and A Hum, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, NY (2022). Williamson’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art; CCA Andratx, Mallorca; University of Illinois, Springfield; and The Embassy of the United States in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
