Collection of FIPSI SEILERN - Liminal Gallery in a gallery layout

FIPSI SEILERN

Born in the UK, Fipsi Seilern is a British artist represented by Liminal Gallery, Margate. With a background in classical painting, historic references are evident in her drawing practice of coloured pencils on untreated wood. Filtered through a surreal, contemporary lens, figures are flattened and stylised, reminiscent of early manuscript illumination, Eastern miniatures and Renaissance European tapestries.

The recurring motifs in her work are unplanned, automatic responses of the subconscious. Naked cowboys, volcanic eruptions and disembodied limbs become externalisations of collective experience, an examination between the self as performer and the self as helpless participant.

“These seem to be present all the time and they are iterations of my own preoccupation and interest in the world. Perhaps they are trying to make sense of a society that continues to try and thrive, despite being in the shadow of ongoing power struggles and violence, and the undercurrent of tension between order and chaos.”

She graduated from the Charles Cecil painting atelier in Florence in 2007, and has exhibited in London, Berlin, New York, Vienna, Stockholm and Murcia. She graduated with an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2020.
