Denise Liebermann tells stories in paint. Her work is predominantly figurative and typically on a large scale. Sometimes the narrative is complex and we catch a stolen moment from a drama unfolding. Other times, she focuses on a much simpler and perennial theme such as the relationship between humans and their dogs.
Cerebral or thoughtful is typical of the reaction to Denise’s core work. Her striking large and lean oil paintings of figures, or figures with dogs, have immediate impact, yet they also invite interrogation. She explores 21st century themes of identity, introspection and connection, playing with co- existing ideas of human attachment and detachment.
Education
Denise pursued her passion for art by returning to education as a mature student, beginning with an A level in Fine Art before progressing to the Art Foundation Program at Warwickshire College, Leamington spa, where she earned a BTEC Diploma. Over the years Denise has honed her practice through continuous self directed study and experimentation, building a deep understanding of her creative process and chosen medium.
Denise’s artwork has been sold to private collectors in France, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and all over the UK. Commissions Commissioned works are also available by request, with a focus on bespoke figurative and still-life pieces.
