Self Portrait |

Nurlisa was born in
Copenhagen Denmark in 1945. She has lived in both Australia and Aceh and
Penang for the past 18 years, living and working as an artist. Nurlisa
spends much of her time in a remote village in Aceh where she has tigers
visiting her jungle backyard and army and police are regular guests,
intrigued by this eccentric Western woman who paints. Her medium of choice
has traditionally been water colour and recently she has embraced the use
of acrylic on canvas. Her focus has been on the transition of light in
everyday life often juxtaposed with decay exhaltation of the unexpected
and unappreciated. She has been a champion of the preservation of
historical buildings in Penang, Malaysia. More recently her work has
evolved to incorporate the juxtaposition of colour in unexpected scenes. |
