Liz Almonte is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is a dialogue of lived experience. Between illustration and photographic process, she investigates existence defined by the traces of her subjects. She derives queerness into facets of her work, assuming a role similar in the way gravity makes the apple fall. The queer body is alive, thriving, and entangled in the mundane. It isn't something to be prodded and analyzed, but organically engaged in the hums of sensuality. The body is prose, to be siphoned slowly into our gaze.
Liz graduated with a BFA in Studio Art at New York University. She curated her first exhibition Pansy Debutantes under the Lavanda Collective— a collective centered on queer artists. Liz’s work has been showcased at the Arts Students League, the Brick Aux, St. Agnes Church in Berlin, Gracie Mansion, and department exhibitions held at NYU. Selected images from Madeira have been published in the independent magazine Seedlings.
