The upcoming exhibition at Mercantile Coffee House features Liz London’s Seeking Infinity. With the use of mixed media, Liz London presents an allegorical representation of personal adventures. Process becomes an important factor in London’s art making. Curiosities discovered from travel coalesced with painting, drawing, rubbing and collaging formulates the works on display. While working on various pieces collectively, the act of producing takes on a philosophical ceremony for London where mistakes are created, boundaries are pushed, questions are asked and icons are made.
