Rising artist’s first solo exhibition
Rising artist’s first solo exhibition
Lizzie Snow, aka ‘fortyonehundred’ is a Wellington artist who at only 22 years old is already collaborating with major international and New Zealand based companies such as Lululemon, Converse, Topshop, 3WiseMen, TEDx, Victoria University, Peugeot and AllBirds.
Working under her artist name ‘fortyonehundred’, Lizzie has built up a loyal fanbase of 100,000 followers online from all corners of the world. Lizzie is also a mural artist – painting around New Zealand and as far away as Canada and the United States.
She credits her inspiration to fractals in nature, and has described the process of her creating as a trance-like meditation. She explores mandalas through a contemporary eye and address issues of interconnection and the human experience.
“Fractal inspired artwork is a beautiful
fusion between mathematics, science, art and nature. These
patterns make up everything in our natural environment and
shows how extensively interconnected we are with our entire
universe”
This exhibition is Lizzie’s final
project at Victoria University. It marks the culmination of
her Master of Fine Arts degree, showcasing her most recent
and evolved artworks.
Exhibition opening: Thursday 15th February, 6pm Potocki Paterson Art Gallery
