LIZA BINGHAM is a painter working in Boston, MA. She is the recipient of two recent grants, including one from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (2010), and another from the Berkshire Taconic Foundation (2009). Bingham earned her M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and a B.F.A. from Cornell. She has exhibited at the Kingston Gallery in Boston, the Fireplace Project in East Hampton, NY, and the Lincoln Arts Project in Waltham, MA.
Bingham's modest to mid- sized oil paintings are done on muslin over panel and focus on a certain particularly American landscape. Her subject, the traditional suburban and rural house, is personal and as a progression on traditional landscape painting functions as a stand- in for personal subject matter . Using a wet-on-wet technique, her palette tends towards the fantastic and rainbow-hued. She executes her brushwork with seemingly quick , slippery and fleeting strokes, a masterful example of something paint can do that no other medium can accomplish. Image to image, Bingham's paintings also seem to be connected in conversation, a continuum of color, action and the passage of time.
