Liz Bentley is a non-binary painter from Canmore, AB. They hold both a BFA and MFA from the University of Victoria and have exhibited in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Most recently at Trapdoor ARC in Lethbridge, AB and Neutral Ground ARC in Regina, SK. Primarily working with gouache, house-paint and film photography; their practice examines the connection between memory, storytelling and domestic architecture. Their paintings are constructed from memories, bringing recreations of past spaces into the present. In the same way that memories are often flawed and wobbly, so too are these stripped-down spaces. Emotions, conversations and ghosts of objects are embodied with bright colours; rendered organic and softly shaped. Curating an experience which joins the past, present and explore the relationships between interior and exterior environments.
