"Lisa Girls"
The Lisa Carlson solo exhibitionof digital collage images"Lisa Girls: Close-ups, Portraits, and Pin-ups"February 2009 at the Patrick Moore GallerySalt Lake City,Utah was inspired by the fashion editorials of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
For the 2009 collection Lisa worked withPhotoshop, Giclee Printers, and Open Acrylic paints.All these tools were innovative and just becoming available to the professional artist. The new technology was interesting to Lisa but she found the computer collage process was not tactile enough or spontaneous enough for her design sensibilities.
Lisa now works exclusively in photomontage for her fine art wall pieces.Her collages are constructed entirely from photographs found in vintage and current fashion magazines. "Since the 1960's I have lovedcreating portrait collages from fashion magazine pictures.Through the cut and paste process new images are revealed." Lisa Carlson
