Lisa Sigal

In her recent work, Lisa Sigal has been painting on walls and making forms that combine painting with architecture. Her work suggests a mutable delineation between interior and exterior and explores their meaning both socially and politically. Utilizing and expanding upon notions of space, she investigates how art can challenge set ideas about property, containment and freedom. 

Lisa Sigal was born in Philadelphia, PA. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011, the Joan MItchell Foundation Grant and the Elizabeth Foundation Grant in 1998.  Her work was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial and has been exhibited at the The New Museum, PS1, The Sculpture Center, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Albright Knox and the Brooklyn Museum. She received a BFA from the Tyler School of Art in 1985 and an MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1989. Sigal lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
