LIZ TIRANTI CREATES BESPOKE MOSAIC ARTWORKS FROM HER INSPIRED MOSAICS STUDIO IN
HOVE. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, DECORATIVE PIECES & SCULPTURES FOR HOMES, GARDENS
AND PUBLIC SPACES . BORN: London 1969. Lives and works in Brighton & Hove,
United Kingdom. ARTISTS STATEMENT: I am a contemporary mosaic artist. My goal?
To celebrate and challenge the art of mosaic. Colour underpins everything I
create. The approach: intuitive. In my work over twenty five yearsI have
developed a striking and vibrant style. The work has included architectural wall
and floor features, decorative pieces and sculptures. Whilst developing my
sculptural practice I was one of the first in Britain to import concrete
construction techniques specifically for mosaic making from North America. This
led to my recent postgraduate enquiry into how to translate fragment to form. To
take the tile (tesserae) from the surface and make it the object in itself.
After all, mosaic originated in Roman construction techniques, it did not begin
as decoration. Experience in working to commission for private, corporate and
public clients has equipped me with a broad spectrum of skills. They range from
design and making to fine judgement about enhancing a space. It is underpinned
by a careful interpretation of the clients’ requirements. The art of mosaic,
often overlooked and undervalued, is rich in culture, materials and skill. It’s
traditions and versatility I continue enthusiastically to embrace. My purpose?
To stimulate discussion about the mosaic-making process and to contribute to
its' position as both a craft and a fine art form. Currently I focus on
producing new sculptural artwork for exhibition and sale.
