" If Little Girls Ran The World, Could It Get Any Worse"


" Recognition", Acrylic and paper on canvas, 71" x 55"

Involved in numerous on-going projects, Lisa Renko actively pursues and investigates ideas and directions thay she feels authentically challenge established art lexicons. Innovation, she has observed, isn't always obvious, obscured by labels of "contemporary", alternative", progressive", "outsider". descriptions that imply a departure from the conventional, but applied without vigilant awareness,  result in paradigms that are formulistic and predictable, rarely surprise, let alone engage the viewer.

 I feel more free of all that nonsense lately, entered an online show, my work doesn't really translate under that umbrella, what to do??

Context matters
