Lizzie Zelter
Lizzie Zelter creates paintings and installations with bizarre vantage points of everyday architectural sites: homes, stores, and transportation hubs. She explores the micro and macro infrastructure of urban life and the physical structures that produce our built environment. By utilizing reflection and fragmentation devices in her compositions, she morphs scale and perspective to decontextualize and disguise the familiar. Her current body of work investigates what mundane, urban threshold sites can elucidate about our society’s approach to place-making, material culture, and reinvention.
Zelter is based between New York, NY and San Diego, CA where she directs and curates exhibits for Two Rooms, an artist-run gallery and experimental project space. Zelter received her MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University’s School of the Arts in 2022 and a BA in Global Cultural Studies in the Program in Literature at Duke University in 2018. Her work has been exhibited at Spring/Break Art Show and Winston Wächter Fine Art in New York, NY, at the Athenaeum Art Center in San Diego, CA, and internationally at Gallery II in Tel Aviv, Israel and Estación Tijuana Libertad, Tijuana BC, Mexico.
