Elizabeth Schwaiger’s dwellings are densely populated, spectral, living spaces. Incandescent lighting enhances the panorama of these art and object filled interiors as well loved and lived in rooms.
Elizabeth Schwaiger (b. 1985, Texas) is a research-based artist living and working in Brooklyn. In her decade-long exploration of power dynamics and the climate crises, Schwaiger has used a variegated symbolism of water, fracturing, dimensional overlay, gesture, and dialed levels of representational clarity to construct images suggestive of the interplay among unseen forces that govern our world.
Schwaiger has exhibited in the UK, the USA and Seoul, Korea including shows at The Walker Gallery National Museum in Liverpool, The Macintosh Museum in Glasgow, The National Portrait Gallery in London, Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Glasgow International, Embassy Gallery in Edinburgh, Blue Star Contemporary in San Antonio, and Co-Lab Projects and GrayDUCK Gallery in Austin. Recent projects include a solo presentation at the Independent Art Fair with Nicola Vassell in NYC as well as a solo exhibition titled Pressing Shadows at Gana Art in Seoul, Korea. She was an artist in residence at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva, Florida in 2019. Her work has been featured in Forbes, The Brooklyn Rail, The Catlin Guide, fields magazine, Floorr, Fusebox Written & Spoken, Newfound, Conflict of Interest, Sightlines, and The Austin Chronicle. Schwaiger is represented by Nicola Vassell in New York.
