Liz Nielsen’s latest exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery presents her distinctive “light paintings,” crafted through a meticulous process of layered exposures on photographic paper. Inspired by Man Ray’s photograms, her work transforms darkness into luminous, imagined landscapes where peaks, waters, and auroras emerge. Blending physics, photography, and composition, Nielsen’s pieces challenge perceptions of space, offering a striking interplay of control and spontaneity in radiant, dreamlike scenes.
