Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to announce representation of London-based artist Liorah Tchiprout, who will have her first solo exhibition with the gallery 30 August to 28 September 2024.
Tchiprout’s practice spans painting, printmaking and sculpture, drawing on Yiddish literature and Jewish culture to explore new perspectives on themes such as girlhood, memory and intergenerational connection. Painted from life-like dolls that she makes herself using human hair and handmade clothing, her work explores the boundary between the imaginary and real. As she paints and draws her dolls, they become conduits for individuals, models that mediate the experience of painting from life. In this way, her paintings are intimate yet surreal, bringing together the animate and inanimate.
Liorah Tchiprout (b. 1992, London) lives and works in London. She received her MA from Camberwell College of Art, London (2020), and earned her BA in Fine Art Printmaking at University of Brighton (2016). Solo exhibitions include Two Eyes Wide Open at the Edge of Dawn, Marlborough, London (2023); All Things are Kneeling, Brocket Gallery, London (2022); and Frontier at the Country of Night, Oxmarket Contemporary, Chichester (2022). Recent group exhibitions include The Darling of Reflection, Sid Motion Gallery, London (2024); Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2023), for which Tchiprout won the Sunny Dupree Family Award for a Woman Artist; Face to Face: A Celebration of Portraiture, Marlborough, London (2023); Painted Prints, trio show with Jimmy Merris and Gillian Ayres, Marlborough, London (2023); New Contemporaries, South London Gallery, London (2021); and The Ingram Prize Exhibition, Unit 1 Gallery, London (2021), amongst others. She has been shortlisted for the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize (2023), selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2021), and shortlisted for the Ingram Prize (2021), The Signature Art Prize (2021), and the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize (2020). Her collections include Government Art Collection, UK; Ruth Borchard Next Generation Collection, London; Soho House Art Collection; and Clifford Chance Art Collection.
