Lis Pardoe is a contemporary U.S. American artist whose oil paintings affirm a world worth holding onto. In response to the dissonance she experiences living in a fast-paced economy, her work narrates a return to awareness and ritual — an antidote to the anxiety arising from the rapid passing of time. Pardoe's paintings offer vibrant color, domestic detail, and multidimensional light, depicting introspective and layered scenes that portray a world she believes to exist within us. With women’s self-determination at heart, Pardoe uses the figure as a catalyst to speak to the space between ethereal beauty and bodily grief. From self-portraits to neighborhood bouquets, vibrant flames to deep waters, Pardoe's familiar scenes serve as a catalog that documents her inner world and daily life.
