Lia Halloran is a New York based photographer and skate enthusiast , who is using her creative practise to merge movement and still life into one brilliant and extreme landscape.
Initially Lia's work explored ink and portraiture, complimenting her painting and print making degree (Yale). However - Lia's interest in gravity, direction and movement, as well as her Skateboard culture influence have redefined her creative expression. Her second solo exhibition, in collaboration with DCKT (2008) was amazing, and continues to create hype - In the art, street, and skate worlds alike.
The process is primarily conducted within the notion of movement and line, in which the figure and function of skateboarding, its character and architectural interaction is recorded.
Her work depends on the viewers ability to enjoy the nature of line and laws of movement. It asks its witness to invite a second platform into still photography, on which motion, direction and time can be explored playfuly.
Amid her effective invocative of concept and comment Lia operates exaggeration, amplification and artistic technicality to create multidimensional and rich landscapes that captivate viewers with delicacy and urban/cultural grittiness.
