Lisette Schumacher is a visual artist with a strong interest in modern architecture. She travels to visit architecture with historical value in Europe and the USA. She is currently focussed on mid-century modern architecture in Los Angeles. Her artistic practice revolves mostly around painting, though she explored the realms of sculpture and installation as well. Lisette’s work is part of corporate collections as well as private collections in Europa, United States and Asia.
More about the artist
Lisette’s interest lies in the idea that architecture engenders a basic physical experience prior to also initiating an intellectual interpretation. By observing the location intensely and moving through each room repeatedly, she can both experience the space in a physical way and interpret it intellectually. After studying the site's history and architect, a period of in-depth research into technique, material and colour schemes follows. This results in a series of works that reflect on the site's atmosphere, history and its design.
