About

Lisa Riot is a UK-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, sculpture, and collage. Her work investigates the complexities of human experience, focusing on themes of interconnectedness, time, the psyche, and the physical body, with a particular emphasis on the female perspective.

Riot’s creative process is deeply rooted in her lived experience, blending introspection with exploration. Drawing from spirituality, Jungian psychoanalysis, and the timeless narratives of mythology and fairy tales, her work bridges the real and the surreal. This interplay reveals hidden symbols and meanings, offering viewers an evocative tapestry of visual storytelling.

With a foundation in architecture, Riot brings a unique dimensionality to her practice. She employs contrasts in texture, scale, and material—balancing solidity with fragility—to explore the boundaries of physical and emotional experience. Her architectural training informs her focus on how her pieces are ‘experienced’ within the spaces they inhabit, reflecting her ongoing pursuit of representing the intangible.

Recent works reflect Riot’s exploration of self-identity and belonging. Your Home is Not Outside of You is a tactile meditation on place, crafted from clay gathered at her home. Maiden, Mother, Crone traces the evolving relationship between body and identity, while Give or Take investigates the fluid dynamics of caregiving across generations.

Currently, Riot is investigating the intersection of art and technology. She explores how digital tools can expand creative possibilities and reflect humanity’s increasing dependence on technology for connection and information. Through this lens, her work examines the tension between primal instincts and the relentless pace of digital progress, inviting questions about how these forces shape identity and the world around us.
