Avigdor Arikha and Lisa Milroy


I looked into Arikha Avigdor due to how be makes objects valuable, meaning something through his paintings, giving them quality and depth. Through his paintings he looks into the embrace of the moment, capturing a moment through his paintings of objects and seemingly random things. The reason I find Avigdor Arika's work successful in capturing a moment is because of how the objects haven't been placed with a reason, but left in that moment that he's painted, this can be seen by how objects are cut off and not a focal point in the painting.


The reason i found Lisa Milroy's work relatable to my work was because of her layering of objects, placing them in different geomatrical orders and patterns in her paintings. This is something which inspired my work within my first year, however upon researching into Milroy I learnt that she paints these objects from memory, instead of from direct as I aim to look into memories and develop my research.
