Elizabeth Carrington's new works resonate with power and movement. The paintings conjure up the ___ passage of time represented by candy colored cakes and treats, heroic swords and kingly rings.The possibility of peace and happiness are woven through her paintings as unexpected bold graffiti images. Contradictory commands of "say anything " and  "shut up" might present a commentary on current world affairs but are left for individual interpretation. skins, a series of work inspired by travel, nature, the future, revolution and the ever-changing world we live in. this show is about bringing together elements and layers from experiences to create a visual narrative that should be fun, playful, introspective and questions the status quo. artist statement my work is inspired by - and comments on - popular culture and the world around us. the juxtaposition of multi-layered, crisp graphics of screen printing and , loose, sarcastic, whimsical graffiti paintings and drawings is my expression on life, in which the ugly and the sublime often overlap. my process often flows from raw doodles and computer designs to handmade screen prints, paintings as well as many other executions. the finished results mix colors, images, shapes, patterns and type into a calming chaos. i use a wide range of cool, clear, seductive colors that draw you in and are meant to be playful and energetic. while playful, it often features messages that speak to issues important to me: environmental awareness, giving and being part of something useful and positive for future generations, civil rights, popular culture, and questioning the status quo, ideology and dogma. pieces have been described as ‘active message paintings’ with subliminal messages of hope for the next generation. hopefully, my work provokes viewers to consider their own complicity in the vanishing moral code of the world we live in and to ask themselves, "am I part of the disease or am I part of the cure?"
