WENDY LIPP / ABOUT

Wendy Lipp’s paintings originate in portraiture and memories of specific scenes, but evolve into ambiguous, transformative spaces. Pools of color and vine-like strokes move beyond direct representation, allowing ideas, emotions, and physical reality to shift and interact in layered, evocative ways.

Influenced by French post-modern critical theory, Lipp embraces a process-led approach, letting the paint guide its own direction. This trust in her medium creates work that invites multiple interpretations, encouraging viewers to engage deeply and construct their own meanings. Each painting becomes a site of potential, where image and abstraction meet in a rich, multifaceted experience.
