UK artist Laurie Lipton, best know for her impressively detailed drawings using graphite & charcoal, has recently moved stateside armed with a new cache of limited edition etchings created whilst inspired by the idea of moving across the sea. Featuring a signature reverence for ornamentation and a focus on macabre images such as animated skeletons in the vein of the Mexican holiday, The Day of The Dead, the work presents a subtle meditation on the flimsy veil between life and death. To further compliment this move to L.A., Lipton is working on a new body of work that will be unveiled at Corpo Gallery in 2012. View more images of her new printed etchings below.
